[Linux-disciples] Qemu and wireless

[Stephen R Laniel]

Hrm. I've been momentarily stymied in my use of qemu, by
this error:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2004-06/msg00300.html

'with the latest (june 10) cvs qemu, when I do "qemu
/dev/hdc" (the
main disk in my laptop on which I have a dual-boot WinXP /
Linux), I
get the Lilo interface without any problem. When I choose to
boot
Linux, it works fine. Booting XP however, gives me the
message "A disk
read error occurred, Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart". GRUB
gives me the
same result.
It seems the lilo bootloader jumps correctly to the XP boot
record,
but from that point on something goes wrong.
Has anyone had success yet booting XP (or another windows)
from a
device file?'

'The problem may be related to the fact that QEMU does not
initialize the HDD geometry fields in the CMOS memory.'

I'm not exactly sure what that means that I should do. I
think I'll email him and ask him what's up.
