Hi, according the spice FAQ[1] the spice server (spice-enabled kvm) can only run on 64bit archs. See also [2]. So I request to mask the spice-flag at least for profiles/arch/x86. [1] http://www.spice-space.org/faq.html [2] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=640139 Sascha. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. on a 32bit host: $ USE=spice emerge app-emulation/qemu-kvm 2. $ kvm -spice port=1234 Actual Results: do_spice_init: starting 0.10.0 spice_server_add_interface: SPICE_INTERFACE_KEYBOARD spice_server_add_interface: SPICE_INTERFACE_MOUSE spice_server_add_interface: SPICE_INTERFACE_QXL red_worker_main: begin ensure_display_channel_created: create display channel ensure_cursor_channel_created: create cursor channel id 0, group 0, virt start 0, virt end ffffffff, generation 0, delta 0 get_virt: panic: slot_id too big, addr=a9081008 Aborted Expected Results: Step 1 should not be possible.
since spice 0.10, 32 bit server should be supported according to the changelog[1]. [2] uses 0.8 which won't work anyway, also i'm not really positive on what changes qemu-kvm 1.0 actually affected that behavior, so waiting for bug #393227 before any useflag masking seems a good idea to me. also i was told upstream didn't really test 32 bit support in the first place, so if it still bugs out with a recent qemu-kvm, a upstream bugreport might be desired.

I didn't know that upstream is willing to support 32 bit server. so my mask request is wrong and, indeed, it should go upstream. So let's wait for qemu-kvm-1.0.ebuild
Please retest with qemu-kvm-1.0

Sascha.
At my stable x86 (using gcc-4.6.3 except for the qemu package) it worked fine so far ...
