Hi, the latest version of qemu in debian can show grub graphical menus, used very often, so the support is really a grat thing. I would like to do some development on a graphical grubscreen, but therefore I would need to test it in qemu. Can you please incorporate the debian feature additions into the gentoo package?
Could you please point me the debian package and/or explain me exactly what you want? I think/guess all you need is to enable sdl in order to get grub load (+sdl,+softmmu) if there is something else required please tell me (I'll upload a 0.6.2-cvs in short time to address a problem found in the 0.6.1 release)
I tried with a cvs ebuild, but that did not work, seems like debian adds features, which are not in the cvs: Sources: http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/q/qemu/qemu_0.6.0.dfsg.2.orig.tar.gz http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/q/qemu/qemu_0.6.0.dfsg.2-1.diff.gz Binary(Did not work for me because of a glibc error) http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/q/qemu/qemu_0.6.0.dfsg.2-1_i386.deb
feature I could see they added: - Automagic way to make a debian image (probably I could provide something similar using a modified quickpkg, do we really want it?) - Some other tools that are in a uuencoded tar in the patch, I have yet to unpack it Actually my laptop is having some hw issues, could you help me try to figure out everything they changed?
I also saw like 5 patches ..
apart from the patches they add a if-up file and the pc-bios/*.bin fils are changed
if-up should be superceeded by the slirp builtin (enabled in the ebuild) I hopefully fixed the patch (got "cvs replaced" an $Header reference in a generated file)
vgabios, bochsbios, these packages seem to be additionally used by debian for the .bin files
Created attachment 44856 [details, diff] qemu.diff This makes it work for me.
I am not sure about the networking stuff, I think thats lack of documentation, I never used networking because I never read the manpage ;) kernel mod is built, but I get: warning: could not open /dev/net/tun: no virtual network emulation ls /dev/net/tun -l crw-rw---- 1 root root 10, 200 28. Nov 13:27 /dev/net/tun How can I make that user-accessible? udev-046 I also wonder, why the escape keycombination is now ctrl+alt instead of ctrl+shift. ctrl+alt as escape makes it impossible to switch consoles in a linux guest. Do you know how to change that? emerge info: Portage 2.0.51-r3 (default-linux/x86/2004.3, gcc-3.4.3, glibc-2.3.4.20041102-r0, 2.6.9-gentoo-r4 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.9-gentoo-r4 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.50GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.6.6 distcc 2.18.2 i586-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled] ccache version 2.3 [enabled] Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r5 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.5-r1 Binutils: sys-devel/binutils-2.15.92.0.2-r1 Headers: sys-kernel/linux26-headers-2.6.8.1-r1 Libtools: sys-devel/libtool-1.5.2-r7 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-march=i586 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -Os" CHOST="i586-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/env /usr/kde/3.3/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/fax /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control /var/spool/fax/etc" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=i586 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -Os" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig buildpkg ccache cvs distlocks sandbox sfperms" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/mirrors/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.de.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X acpi alsa arts avi bitmap-fonts cdparanoia cdr crypt cups dga distcache divx4linux dvd dvdread edl f77 fam fbcon foomaticdb fortran gdbm gif gnome gpm gtk gtk2 hal imlib javascript jpeg kde libg++ libwww live lzo mikmod mng mozilla mpeg mysql ncurses network nls nptl oggvorbis opengl pam pdflib perl png qt quicktime readline rtc ruby samba scanner sdl spell ssl svg svga tcltk tcpd tga tiff truetype usb wxwindows x86 xfs xine xinerama xml xml2 xmms xosd xv xvid zlib video_cards_radeon linguas_de linguas_en"
This was solved in qemu-0.7 (Not my problems setting up network though, but thats probably just lazyness of looking for a good howto ;)
