When you said an earlier kqemu version worked, was it on the same
hardware, with the same amount of memory and 7.0 release? For the
same image? Can you try it again to see if it still works?
Can you show the exact qemu command line?
Some more things to try:
In your earlier response I see
> kqemu version 0x00010300
> kqemu: KQEMU installed, max_locked_mem=3134224kB.
This makes me wonder if the amount of max_locked_mem is the
problem. To test this, change kqemu-freebsd.c:554 to
max_locked_pages = MIN(physmem / 2, 0x1fffffff / PAGE_SIZE);
This will allocate no more than 512B for max locked pages.
If this works keep doubling the size until it breaks.
You can enable kqemu debug prints by
sysctl debug.kqemu_debug=1
before starting qemu. May be we will find something unusual there.
To rule out audio you can disable it from the qemu command line.
If you can, remove zfs during testing.
