I can not to boot guest with network card (trying standart and virtio) qemu-kvm -net none gparted.iso - successful booting of guest qemu-kvm gparted.iso - stops boot process after iPXE control-B prompt qemu-kvm -cdrom gparted.iso -net none -boot order=d lin.img - successful booting qemu-kvm -cdrom gparted.iso -net none -boot order=d,menu=on lin.img - stops booting after F2 prompt I have got same results on gentoo-sources 3.9.2 with qemu-1.4.1 and qemu-1.4.0 After going back to gentoo-sources 3.8.4 therre are no any problem with the same binary files.
Please post your `emerge --info app-emulation/qemu' output in a comment.

Very strange. It works on gentoo-sources-3.9.4. I have not any problem with qemu anymore.
I can't duplicate this. And it seems you're having problems duplicating it as well. When you can give me a list of specific things to do to reproduce this, please reopen.
