Hi, I’m trying to run haiku on QEMU (using the Qt5 based QEMU front end aqemu, on FreeBSD) but when I hit the “run” button I am getting the following error message and am unable to get haiku to boot.
A simple web search shows issues about aqemu including the vlan parameter despite having been removed from QEMU in version 3.
Even a search on just this site before posting shows another post with what looks like a possible workaround. Can’t say if it still works, I don’t use aqemu myself.
Thanks for this. It seems that as it stands, aqemu is not going to work unless I configure it on the command line… Is there another qemu for freebsd or linux that would work with haiku? ← I understand that QtQemu is known to work, but unfortunately that one is not available on GhostBSD’s Software Station.
Please notice this has nothing to do with Haiku. As long as the same network configuration is selected in aqemu, you’ll get the same error whatever the guest system.
I’ve always run QEMU in Linux from the command line, with a simple one at that: qemu-kvm -rtc base=utc -hda ./haiku_hd.img -vga std -m 2G -smp 2, with an extra -cdrom whatever.iso -boot once=d if I want to boot an install image. But then I don’t have special requirements or a ton of images to manage.
Ah, I see. I’m asking on the wrong board! I think that when I tried to set up aqemu using the KVM option on my machine, it gave me some error message or other, but I’ll go ask about the correct network setting over at the FreeBSD forum. Thanks.
