The binary package (version 0.8.0) exhibited the same problem. >Description: qemu sparc emulation seems to be broken. 1. The screen never draws itself properly, the video is crushed and doesn't seem to refresh correctly, as can be seen in this screenshot: http://img100.imageshack.us/img100/7520/qemuconsolerf7.png 2. The text output shown above seems to be as far as the emulation ever gets. The qemu process seems to go into an infinite loop of some sort, consuming CPU and doing nothing. >How-To-Repeat: I was using a Solaris 8 install CD and a blank image created with qemu-img. I don't think you need an install CD to reproduce the problem because the emulation doesn't even get to that stage, as far as I can tell. Basically, create a blank image with qemu-img: $ qemu-img -f qcow blank.img 500M Try qemu-system-sparc with it: $ qemu-system-sparc -hda blank.img >Fix: No known fix. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
