[Qemu-devel] infinite loop at startup on windows

[alex]

Hi,
I've been using QEMU for some time now, and am very pleased with it. Thank
you for the great product. However, it seems to me that current CVS version
(at least on Windows XP host) is entering into an infinite loop at startup,
eating 97% of the CPU power. On the title it shows QEMU [Stopped], and opens
the Monitor view, but does not respond to any input.

I could not run any of my old (qcow, if that matters) images; interestingly,
I was able to run the
Debian installer from a CD image (blank qcow hd image), but was not able to
boot neither
from the hard drive image nor from the cd after install had been complete.

When I attach the debugger, I always get the similar result (below).
Does this make sense to you?

Thank you,

Alex.
