IIRC someone reported a 33% speedup with the new option.That was me. That was a 33% speedup on win2k startup time. kqemu (user only) has a negligible impact on win2k startup time which suggests this is mostly ring 0 code running which would make it a good benchmark for kernel-kqemu performance.This was a terribly unscientific benchmarking so don't read too much into it.Regards, Anthony LiguoriMy win2k guest (with SP4, but not any updates) seemed to hang on startup with -kernel-kqemu.Are you using -m 256 by any chance? I get this result with around that much ram allocated to the guest. -m 160 (or less) or -m 384 (or more) works perfectly here..
Great tip -thank you!I have been having the same headache as others: Linux and RectOS guests constantly crashing in the very same spot when -kernel-kqemu is enabled. I just made a quick test adding -m 384 and ReactOS suddenly boots all the way with -kernel-kqemu enabled!
My test line was: qemu.exe -kernel-kqemu -m 384 -L ./bios -boot c -hda c.img Best regards, Dan Sandberg
