Qemu no longer working with image
« on: May 18, 2010, 09:47:24 PM »
In PCLOS 2009 I had created an image which worked fine.  I have installed PCLOS 2010 and now it is not working.  The image has Windows 98 installed.  Now it is stating it can't find a mouse and the display adapter is not correct any longer.  The Qemu installed on 2009 is v0.9.  2010 looks like it is 0.12.2.  Do I need to do something to convert the image for the new version?  Could it be the newer kernel that is causing the issues or is there a setting in 0.12 to make it act like 0.9?

I found this while searching on the web:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/521994

Looks like the mouse issue may be a bug in Qemu.  Another user there also mentions sound not working.  I wonder if there is a way to install v 0.9.0 (which PCLOS 2009 had)?

ftp://thelogin.ru/linuxnsk/software/virtualization/qemu/qemu-0.9.0-i386.tar.gz

It's binary. Just untar it, use "/usr/local/bin/qemu" instead of "qemu" and you will be happy.

Thanks.  That works so I can get to my VM.  Looking into VirtualBox as an alternative, but so far hit a limitation with display being just VGA.  So still searching for an alternative (or hoping qemu gets fixed).
