Description Grant Edwards 2008-12-26 05:07:02 UTC

qemu 0.9.0 with kqemu 1.3.0_pre11 works fine under 2.6.25, but segfaults under 2.6.26. qemu w/o kemu works fine under 2.6.26.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge kqemu
2. modprobe kqemu
3. qemu


Actual Results:  
segfault

Expected Results:  
no segfault

Same problem has reported under other distros, so it looks like
an upstream issue.  I've seen references to updated RPMs and
debs that fix the problem for Redhat and Debian, but I haven't
found patch sources or an explanation of what the issue us.

Please post your `emerge --info', attach a gdb backtrace (or at least _some_ command line output) and relevant messages from dmesg.
