I suspect that this might be some problem on my side, as I couldn't
find any similar report (apart some old (qemu-2.8.50) threads, that
didn't help)
Not necessarily; can you tell me:
a) At what point does it fail - immediately when booting the guest?
Some time during the boot? Later?
b) What guest does it happen on?
a) the error happens almost immediately; I mean: when I run qemu from an
xterm, it doesn't even popup its window: it just dumps the error
message to the terminal and stops
b) the guest is an old windows XP OS; but, as I say above, all goes as
if qemu doesn't even load the OS image (at least this is my
impression)
