bellard1f673132004-04-04 15:21:17 +000057QEMU is a FAST! processor emulator using dynamic translation to
58achieve good emulation speed.
bellard1eb20522003-06-25 16:21:49 +000059
60QEMU has two operating modes:

bellard3f9f3aa2005-12-18 20:11:37 +000068example a PC), including one or several processors and various
69peripherals. It can be used to launch different Operating Systems
70without rebooting the PC or to debug system code.

415You can create a disk image with the command:
bellard1f673132004-04-04 15:21:17 +0000416@example
bellardacd935e2004-11-15 22:57:26 +0000417qemu-img create myimage.img mysize

bellardacd935e2004-11-15 22:57:26 +0000419where @var{myimage.img} is the disk image filename and @var{mysize} is its
420size in kilobytes. You can add an @code{M} suffix to give the size in
421megabytes and a @code{G} suffix for gigabytes.
422
bellarddebc7062006-04-30 21:58:41 +0000423See @ref{qemu_img_invocation} for more information.

428If you use the option @option{-snapshot}, all disk images are
429considered as read only. When sectors in written, they are written in
430a temporary file created in @file{/tmp}. You can however force the
bellardacd935e2004-11-15 22:57:26 +0000431write back to the raw disk images by using the @code{commit} monitor
432command (or @key{C-a s} in the serial console).

bellard13a2e802006-08-06 14:50:31 +0000434@node vm_snapshots
435@subsection VM snapshots
436
437VM snapshots are snapshots of the complete virtual machine including
438CPU state, RAM, device state and the content of all the writable
439disks. In order to use VM snapshots, you must have at least one non
440removable and writable block device using the @code{qcow2} disk image
441format. Normally this device is the first virtual hard drive.
442
443Use the monitor command @code{savevm} to create a new VM snapshot or
444replace an existing one. A human readable name can be assigned to each
bellard19d36792006-08-07 21:34:34 +0000445snapshot in addition to its numerical ID.
bellard13a2e802006-08-06 14:50:31 +0000446
447Use @code{loadvm} to restore a VM snapshot and @code{delvm} to remove
448a VM snapshot. @code{info snapshots} lists the available snapshots
449with their associated information:
450
451@example
452(qemu) info snapshots
453Snapshot devices: hda
454Snapshot list (from hda):
455ID TAG VM SIZE DATE VM CLOCK
4561 start 41M 2006-08-06 12:38:02 00:00:14.954
4572 40M 2006-08-06 12:43:29 00:00:18.633
4583 msys 40M 2006-08-06 12:44:04 00:00:23.514
459@end example
460
461A VM snapshot is made of a VM state info (its size is shown in
462@code{info snapshots}) and a snapshot of every writable disk image.
463The VM state info is stored in the first @code{qcow2} non removable
464and writable block device. The disk image snapshots are stored in
465every disk image. The size of a snapshot in a disk image is difficult
466to evaluate and is not shown by @code{info snapshots} because the
467associated disk sectors are shared among all the snapshots to save
bellard19d36792006-08-07 21:34:34 +0000468disk space (otherwise each snapshot would need a full copy of all the
469disk images).
bellard13a2e802006-08-06 14:50:31 +0000470
471When using the (unrelated) @code{-snapshot} option
472(@ref{disk_images_snapshot_mode}), you can always make VM snapshots,
473but they are deleted as soon as you exit QEMU.
474
475VM snapshots currently have the following known limitations:
476@itemize
ths5fafdf22007-09-16 21:08:06 +0000477@item
bellard13a2e802006-08-06 14:50:31 +0000478They cannot cope with removable devices if they are removed or
479inserted after a snapshot is done.
ths5fafdf22007-09-16 21:08:06 +0000480@item
bellard13a2e802006-08-06 14:50:31 +0000481A few device drivers still have incomplete snapshot support so their
482state is not saved or restored properly (in particular USB).

496@subsection Using host drives
497
498In addition to disk image files, QEMU can directly access host
499devices. We describe here the usage for QEMU version >= 0.8.3.
500
501@subsubsection Linux
502
503On Linux, you can directly use the host device filename instead of a
ths4be456f2007-06-03 13:41:28 +0000504disk image filename provided you have enough privileges to access
bellard19cb3732006-08-19 11:45:59 +0000505it. For example, use @file{/dev/cdrom} to access to the CDROM or
506@file{/dev/fd0} for the floppy.
507
bellardf5420862006-08-21 20:26:44 +0000508@table @code
bellard19cb3732006-08-19 11:45:59 +0000509@item CD
510You can specify a CDROM device even if no CDROM is loaded. QEMU has
511specific code to detect CDROM insertion or removal. CDROM ejection by
512the guest OS is supported. Currently only data CDs are supported.
513@item Floppy
514You can specify a floppy device even if no floppy is loaded. Floppy
515removal is currently not detected accurately (if you change floppy
516without doing floppy access while the floppy is not loaded, the guest
517OS will think that the same floppy is loaded).
518@item Hard disks
519Hard disks can be used. Normally you must specify the whole disk
520(@file{/dev/hdb} instead of @file{/dev/hdb1}) so that the guest OS can
521see it as a partitioned disk. WARNING: unless you know what you do, it
522is better to only make READ-ONLY accesses to the hard disk otherwise
523you may corrupt your host data (use the @option{-snapshot} command
524line option or modify the device permissions accordingly).

bellard2c6cadd2005-12-18 18:31:45 +0000558@subsection Virtual FAT disk images
559
560QEMU can automatically create a virtual FAT disk image from a
561directory tree. In order to use it, just type:
562
ths5fafdf22007-09-16 21:08:06 +0000563@example
bellard2c6cadd2005-12-18 18:31:45 +0000564qemu linux.img -hdb fat:/my_directory
565@end example
566
567Then you access access to all the files in the @file{/my_directory}
568directory without having to copy them in a disk image or to export
569them via SAMBA or NFS. The default access is @emph{read-only}.
570
571Floppies can be emulated with the @code{:floppy:} option:
572
ths5fafdf22007-09-16 21:08:06 +0000573@example

593@subsection NBD access
594
595QEMU can access directly to block device exported using the Network Block Device
596protocol.
597
598@example
599qemu linux.img -hdb nbd:my_nbd_server.mydomain.org:1024
600@end example
601
602If the NBD server is located on the same host, you can use an unix socket instead
603of an inet socket:
604
605@example
606qemu linux.img -hdb nbd:unix:/tmp/my_socket
607@end example
608
609In this case, the block device must be exported using qemu-nbd:
610
611@example
612qemu-nbd --socket=/tmp/my_socket my_disk.qcow2
613@end example
614
615The use of qemu-nbd allows to share a disk between several guests:
616@example
617qemu-nbd --socket=/tmp/my_socket --share=2 my_disk.qcow2
618@end example
619
620and then you can use it with two guests:
621@example
622qemu linux1.img -hdb nbd:unix:/tmp/my_socket
623qemu linux2.img -hdb nbd:unix:/tmp/my_socket
624@end example
625
Laurent Vivier1d45f8b2010-08-25 22:48:33 +0200626If the nbd-server uses named exports (since NBD 2.9.18), you must use the
627"exportname" option:
628@example
629qemu -cdrom nbd:localhost:exportname=debian-500-ppc-netinst
630qemu -cdrom nbd:localhost:exportname=openSUSE-11.1-ppc-netinst

635
ths4be456f2007-06-03 13:41:28 +0000636QEMU can simulate several network cards (PCI or ISA cards on the PC
bellard41d03942005-11-15 23:02:53 +0000637target) and can connect them to an arbitrary number of Virtual Local
638Area Networks (VLANs). Host TAP devices can be connected to any QEMU
639VLAN. VLAN can be connected between separate instances of QEMU to
ths4be456f2007-06-03 13:41:28 +0000640simulate large networks. For simpler usage, a non privileged user mode

bellard41d03942005-11-15 23:02:53 +0000646QEMU simulates several VLANs. A VLAN can be symbolised as a virtual

649(TAP devices).
650
651@subsection Using TAP network interfaces
652
653This is the standard way to connect QEMU to a real network. QEMU adds
654a virtual network device on your host (called @code{tapN}), and you
655can then configure it as if it was a real ethernet card.

658
bellard9d4fb822004-04-26 20:55:38 +0000659As an example, you can download the @file{linux-test-xxx.tar.gz}
660archive and copy the script @file{qemu-ifup} in @file{/etc} and
661configure properly @code{sudo} so that the command @code{ifconfig}
662contained in @file{qemu-ifup} can be executed as root. You must verify
bellard41d03942005-11-15 23:02:53 +0000663that your host kernel supports the TAP network interfaces: the
bellard9d4fb822004-04-26 20:55:38 +0000664device @file{/dev/net/tun} must be present.
665
bellardee0f4752006-08-19 16:56:18 +0000666See @ref{sec_invocation} to have examples of command lines using the

670
671There is a virtual ethernet driver for Windows 2000/XP systems, called
672TAP-Win32. But it is not included in standard QEMU for Windows,
673so you will need to get it separately. It is part of OpenVPN package,
674so download OpenVPN from : @url{http://openvpn.net/}.

677
bellard41d03942005-11-15 23:02:53 +0000678By using the option @option{-net user} (default configuration if no
679@option{-net} option is specified), QEMU uses a completely user mode
ths4be456f2007-06-03 13:41:28 +0000680network stack (you don't need root privilege to use the virtual
bellard41d03942005-11-15 23:02:53 +0000681network). The virtual network configuration is the following:
bellard9d4fb822004-04-26 20:55:38 +0000682
683@example
684
bellard41d03942005-11-15 23:02:53 +0000685 QEMU VLAN <------> Firewall/DHCP server <-----> Internet

692
693The QEMU VM behaves as if it was behind a firewall which blocks all
694incoming connections. You can use a DHCP client to automatically
bellard41d03942005-11-15 23:02:53 +0000695configure the network in the QEMU VM. The DHCP server assign addresses
696to the hosts starting from 10.0.2.15.
bellard9d4fb822004-04-26 20:55:38 +0000697
698In order to check that the user mode network is working, you can ping
699the address 10.0.2.2 and verify that you got an address in the range
70010.0.2.x from the QEMU virtual DHCP server.
701
bellardb415a402004-05-23 21:04:06 +0000702Note that @code{ping} is not supported reliably to the internet as it
ths4be456f2007-06-03 13:41:28 +0000703would require root privileges. It means you can only ping the local
bellardb415a402004-05-23 21:04:06 +0000704router (10.0.2.2).
705
bellard9bf05442004-08-25 22:12:49 +0000706When using the built-in TFTP server, the router is also the TFTP
707server.
708
709When using the @option{-redir} option, TCP or UDP connections can be
710redirected from the host to the guest. It allows for example to
711redirect X11, telnet or SSH connections.

722@subsection Inter-VM Shared Memory device
723
724With KVM enabled on a Linux host, a shared memory device is available. Guests
725map a POSIX shared memory region into the guest as a PCI device that enables
726zero-copy communication to the application level of the guests. The basic
727syntax is:
728
729@example
730qemu -device ivshmem,size=<size in format accepted by -m>[,shm=<shm name>]
731@end example
732
733If desired, interrupts can be sent between guest VMs accessing the same shared
734memory region. Interrupt support requires using a shared memory server and
735using a chardev socket to connect to it. The code for the shared memory server
736is qemu.git/contrib/ivshmem-server. An example syntax when using the shared
737memory server is:
738
739@example
740qemu -device ivshmem,size=<size in format accepted by -m>[,chardev=<id>]
741 [,msi=on][,ioeventfd=on][,vectors=n][,role=peer|master]
742qemu -chardev socket,path=<path>,id=<id>
743@end example
744
745When using the server, the guest will be assigned a VM ID (>=0) that allows guests
746using the same server to communicate via interrupts. Guests can read their
747VM ID from a device register (see example code). Since receiving the shared
748memory region from the server is asynchronous, there is a (small) chance the
749guest may boot before the shared memory is attached. To allow an application
750to ensure shared memory is attached, the VM ID register will return -1 (an
751invalid VM ID) until the memory is attached. Once the shared memory is
752attached, the VM ID will return the guest's valid VM ID. With these semantics,
753the guest application can check to ensure the shared memory is attached to the
754guest before proceeding.
755
756The @option{role} argument can be set to either master or peer and will affect
757how the shared memory is migrated. With @option{role=master}, the guest will
758copy the shared memory on migration to the destination host. With
759@option{role=peer}, the guest will not be able to migrate with the device attached.
760With the @option{peer} case, the device should be detached and then reattached
761after migration using the PCI hotplug support.

766This section explains how to launch a Linux kernel inside QEMU without
767having to make a full bootable image. It is very useful for fast Linux
bellardee0f4752006-08-19 16:56:18 +0000768kernel testing.
bellard1eb20522003-06-25 16:21:49 +0000769
bellardee0f4752006-08-19 16:56:18 +0000770The syntax is:
bellard1eb20522003-06-25 16:21:49 +0000771@example
bellardee0f4752006-08-19 16:56:18 +0000772qemu -kernel arch/i386/boot/bzImage -hda root-2.4.20.img -append "root=/dev/hda"
bellard1eb20522003-06-25 16:21:49 +0000773@end example
774
bellardee0f4752006-08-19 16:56:18 +0000775Use @option{-kernel} to provide the Linux kernel image and
776@option{-append} to give the kernel command line arguments. The
777@option{-initrd} option can be used to provide an INITRD image.
778
779When using the direct Linux boot, a disk image for the first hard disk
780@file{hda} is required because its boot sector is used to launch the
781Linux kernel.
782
783If you do not need graphical output, you can disable it and redirect
784the virtual serial port and the QEMU monitor to the console with the
785@option{-nographic} option. The typical command line is:
bellard1eb20522003-06-25 16:21:49 +0000786@example
bellardee0f4752006-08-19 16:56:18 +0000787qemu -kernel arch/i386/boot/bzImage -hda root-2.4.20.img \

bellardb389dbf2005-11-06 16:49:55 +0000874is actually using the USB device. A simple way to do that is simply to
875disable the corresponding kernel module by renaming it from @file{mydriver.o}

932@subsection Without passwords
933
934The simplest VNC server setup does not include any form of authentication.
935For this setup it is recommended to restrict it to listen on a UNIX domain
936socket only. For example
937
938@example
939qemu [...OPTIONS...] -vnc unix:/home/joebloggs/.qemu-myvm-vnc
940@end example
941
942This ensures that only users on local box with read/write access to that
943path can access the VNC server. To securely access the VNC server from a
944remote machine, a combination of netcat+ssh can be used to provide a secure
945tunnel.
946
947@node vnc_sec_password
948@subsection With passwords
949
950The VNC protocol has limited support for password based authentication. Since
951the protocol limits passwords to 8 characters it should not be considered
952to provide high security. The password can be fairly easily brute-forced by
953a client making repeat connections. For this reason, a VNC server using password
954authentication should be restricted to only listen on the loopback interface
blueswir134a3d232008-10-04 20:43:39 +0000955or UNIX domain sockets. Password authentication is requested with the @code{password}
thsf858dca2007-08-25 01:40:37 +0000956option, and then once QEMU is running the password is set with the monitor. Until
957the monitor is used to set the password all clients will be rejected.
958
959@example
960qemu [...OPTIONS...] -vnc :1,password -monitor stdio
961(qemu) change vnc password
962Password: ********
963(qemu)
964@end example
965
966@node vnc_sec_certificate
967@subsection With x509 certificates
968
969The QEMU VNC server also implements the VeNCrypt extension allowing use of
970TLS for encryption of the session, and x509 certificates for authentication.
971The use of x509 certificates is strongly recommended, because TLS on its
972own is susceptible to man-in-the-middle attacks. Basic x509 certificate
973support provides a secure session, but no authentication. This allows any
974client to connect, and provides an encrypted session.
975
976@example
977qemu [...OPTIONS...] -vnc :1,tls,x509=/etc/pki/qemu -monitor stdio
978@end example
979
980In the above example @code{/etc/pki/qemu} should contain at least three files,
981@code{ca-cert.pem}, @code{server-cert.pem} and @code{server-key.pem}. Unprivileged
982users will want to use a private directory, for example @code{$HOME/.pki/qemu}.
983NB the @code{server-key.pem} file should be protected with file mode 0600 to
984only be readable by the user owning it.
985
986@node vnc_sec_certificate_verify
987@subsection With x509 certificates and client verification
988
989Certificates can also provide a means to authenticate the client connecting.
990The server will request that the client provide a certificate, which it will
991then validate against the CA certificate. This is a good choice if deploying
992in an environment with a private internal certificate authority.
993
994@example
995qemu [...OPTIONS...] -vnc :1,tls,x509verify=/etc/pki/qemu -monitor stdio
996@end example
997
998
999@node vnc_sec_certificate_pw
1000@subsection With x509 certificates, client verification and passwords
1001
1002Finally, the previous method can be combined with VNC password authentication
1003to provide two layers of authentication for clients.
1004
1005@example
1006qemu [...OPTIONS...] -vnc :1,password,tls,x509verify=/etc/pki/qemu -monitor stdio
1007(qemu) change vnc password
1008Password: ********
1009(qemu)

1013@node vnc_sec_sasl
1014@subsection With SASL authentication
1015
1016The SASL authentication method is a VNC extension, that provides an
1017easily extendable, pluggable authentication method. This allows for
1018integration with a wide range of authentication mechanisms, such as
1019PAM, GSSAPI/Kerberos, LDAP, SQL databases, one-time keys and more.
1020The strength of the authentication depends on the exact mechanism
1021configured. If the chosen mechanism also provides a SSF layer, then
1022it will encrypt the datastream as well.
1023
1024Refer to the later docs on how to choose the exact SASL mechanism
1025used for authentication, but assuming use of one supporting SSF,
1026then QEMU can be launched with:
1027
1028@example
1029qemu [...OPTIONS...] -vnc :1,sasl -monitor stdio
1030@end example
1031
1032@node vnc_sec_certificate_sasl
1033@subsection With x509 certificates and SASL authentication
1034
1035If the desired SASL authentication mechanism does not supported
1036SSF layers, then it is strongly advised to run it in combination
1037with TLS and x509 certificates. This provides securely encrypted
1038data stream, avoiding risk of compromising of the security
1039credentials. This can be enabled, by combining the 'sasl' option
1040with the aforementioned TLS + x509 options:
1041
1042@example
1043qemu [...OPTIONS...] -vnc :1,tls,x509,sasl -monitor stdio
1044@end example

1048@subsection Generating certificates for VNC
1049
1050The GNU TLS packages provides a command called @code{certtool} which can
1051be used to generate certificates and keys in PEM format. At a minimum it
1052is neccessary to setup a certificate authority, and issue certificates to
1053each server. If using certificates for authentication, then each client
1054will also need to be issued a certificate. The recommendation is for the
1055server to keep its certificates in either @code{/etc/pki/qemu} or for
1056unprivileged users in @code{$HOME/.pki/qemu}.

1062@end menu
1063@node vnc_generate_ca
1064@subsubsection Setup the Certificate Authority
1065
1066This step only needs to be performed once per organization / organizational
1067unit. First the CA needs a private key. This key must be kept VERY secret
1068and secure. If this key is compromised the entire trust chain of the certificates
1069issued with it is lost.
1070
1071@example
1072# certtool --generate-privkey > ca-key.pem
1073@end example
1074
1075A CA needs to have a public certificate. For simplicity it can be a self-signed
1076certificate, or one issue by a commercial certificate issuing authority. To
1077generate a self-signed certificate requires one core piece of information, the
1078name of the organization.
1079
1080@example
1081# cat > ca.info <<EOF
1082cn = Name of your organization
1083ca
1084cert_signing_key
1085EOF
1086# certtool --generate-self-signed \
1087 --load-privkey ca-key.pem
1088 --template ca.info \
1089 --outfile ca-cert.pem
1090@end example
1091
1092The @code{ca-cert.pem} file should be copied to all servers and clients wishing to utilize
1093TLS support in the VNC server. The @code{ca-key.pem} must not be disclosed/copied at all.
1094
1095@node vnc_generate_server
1096@subsubsection Issuing server certificates
1097
1098Each server (or host) needs to be issued with a key and certificate. When connecting
1099the certificate is sent to the client which validates it against the CA certificate.
1100The core piece of information for a server certificate is the hostname. This should
1101be the fully qualified hostname that the client will connect with, since the client
1102will typically also verify the hostname in the certificate. On the host holding the
1103secure CA private key:
1104
1105@example
1106# cat > server.info <<EOF
1107organization = Name of your organization
1108cn = server.foo.example.com
1109tls_www_server
1110encryption_key
1111signing_key
1112EOF
1113# certtool --generate-privkey > server-key.pem
1114# certtool --generate-certificate \
1115 --load-ca-certificate ca-cert.pem \
1116 --load-ca-privkey ca-key.pem \
1117 --load-privkey server server-key.pem \
1118 --template server.info \
1119 --outfile server-cert.pem
1120@end example
1121
1122The @code{server-key.pem} and @code{server-cert.pem} files should now be securely copied
1123to the server for which they were generated. The @code{server-key.pem} is security
1124sensitive and should be kept protected with file mode 0600 to prevent disclosure.
1125
1126@node vnc_generate_client
1127@subsubsection Issuing client certificates
1128
1129If the QEMU VNC server is to use the @code{x509verify} option to validate client
1130certificates as its authentication mechanism, each client also needs to be issued
1131a certificate. The client certificate contains enough metadata to uniquely identify
1132the client, typically organization, state, city, building, etc. On the host holding
1133the secure CA private key:
1134
1135@example
1136# cat > client.info <<EOF
1137country = GB
1138state = London
1139locality = London
1140organiazation = Name of your organization
1141cn = client.foo.example.com
1142tls_www_client
1143encryption_key
1144signing_key
1145EOF
1146# certtool --generate-privkey > client-key.pem
1147# certtool --generate-certificate \
1148 --load-ca-certificate ca-cert.pem \
1149 --load-ca-privkey ca-key.pem \
1150 --load-privkey client-key.pem \
1151 --template client.info \
1152 --outfile client-cert.pem
1153@end example
1154
1155The @code{client-key.pem} and @code{client-cert.pem} files should now be securely
1156copied to the client for which they were generated.

1161@subsection Configuring SASL mechanisms
1162
1163The following documentation assumes use of the Cyrus SASL implementation on a
1164Linux host, but the principals should apply to any other SASL impl. When SASL
1165is enabled, the mechanism configuration will be loaded from system default
1166SASL service config /etc/sasl2/qemu.conf. If running QEMU as an
1167unprivileged user, an environment variable SASL_CONF_PATH can be used
1168to make it search alternate locations for the service config.
1169
1170The default configuration might contain
1171
1172@example
1173mech_list: digest-md5
1174sasldb_path: /etc/qemu/passwd.db
1175@end example
1176
1177This says to use the 'Digest MD5' mechanism, which is similar to the HTTP
1178Digest-MD5 mechanism. The list of valid usernames & passwords is maintained
1179in the /etc/qemu/passwd.db file, and can be updated using the saslpasswd2
1180command. While this mechanism is easy to configure and use, it is not
1181considered secure by modern standards, so only suitable for developers /
1182ad-hoc testing.
1183
1184A more serious deployment might use Kerberos, which is done with the 'gssapi'
1185mechanism
1186
1187@example
1188mech_list: gssapi
1189keytab: /etc/qemu/krb5.tab
1190@end example
1191
1192For this to work the administrator of your KDC must generate a Kerberos
1193principal for the server, with a name of 'qemu/somehost.example.com@@EXAMPLE.COM'
1194replacing 'somehost.example.com' with the fully qualified host name of the
1195machine running QEMU, and 'EXAMPLE.COM' with the Keberos Realm.
1196
1197Other configurations will be left as an exercise for the reader. It should
1198be noted that only Digest-MD5 and GSSAPI provides a SSF layer for data
1199encryption. For all other mechanisms, VNC should always be configured to
1200use TLS and x509 certificates to protect security credentials from snooping.

bellardda415d52003-06-27 18:50:50 +00001203@section GDB usage
1204
1205QEMU has a primitive support to work with gdb, so that you can do
bellard0806e3f2003-10-01 00:15:32 +00001206'Ctrl-C' while the virtual machine is running and inspect its state.
bellardda415d52003-06-27 18:50:50 +00001207
bellard9d4520d2003-10-28 01:38:57 +00001208In order to use gdb, launch qemu with the '-s' option. It will wait for a
bellardda415d52003-06-27 18:50:50 +00001209gdb connection:
1210@example
bellarddebc7062006-04-30 21:58:41 +00001211> qemu -s -kernel arch/i386/boot/bzImage -hda root-2.4.20.img \

1214Waiting gdb connection on port 1234
1215@end example
1216
1217Then launch gdb on the 'vmlinux' executable:
1218@example
1219> gdb vmlinux
1220@end example
1221
1222In gdb, connect to QEMU:
1223@example
bellard6c9bf892004-01-24 13:46:56 +00001224(gdb) target remote localhost:1234
bellardda415d52003-06-27 18:50:50 +00001225@end example
1226
1227Then you can use gdb normally. For example, type 'c' to launch the kernel:
1228@example
1229(gdb) c
1230@end example
1231
bellard0806e3f2003-10-01 00:15:32 +00001232Here are some useful tips in order to use gdb on system code:

1245
1246The default single stepping behavior is step with the IRQs and timer service routines off. It is set this way because when gdb executes a single step it expects to advance beyond the current instruction. With the IRQs and and timer service routines on, a single step might jump into the one of the interrupt or exception vectors instead of executing the current instruction. This means you may hit the same breakpoint a number of times before executing the instruction gdb wants to have executed. Because there are rare circumstances where you want to single step into an interrupt vector the behavior can be controlled from GDB. There are three commands you can query and set the single step behavior:

1254received: "ENABLE=1,NOIRQ=2,NOTIMER=4"

1335Add/Troubleshoot a device => Add a new device & Next => No, select the
1336hardware from a list & Next => NT Apm/Legacy Support & Next => Next
1337(again) a few times. Now the driver is installed and Windows 2000 now

bellarde3371e62004-07-10 16:26:02 +00001345
1346Some releases of Windows XP install correctly but give a security
1347error when booting:
1348@example
1349A problem is preventing Windows from accurately checking the
1350license for this computer. Error code: 0x800703e6.
1351@end example
bellarde3371e62004-07-10 16:26:02 +00001352
bellard2192c332006-08-21 20:28:18 +00001353The workaround is to install a service pack for XP after a boot in safe
1354mode. Then reboot, and the problem should go away. Since there is no
1355network while in safe mode, its recommended to download the full
1356installation of SP1 or SP2 and transfer that via an ISO or using the
1357vvfat block device ("-hdb fat:directory_which_holds_the_SP").

1362
1363DOS does not correctly use the CPU HLT instruction. The result is that
1364it takes host CPU cycles even when idle. You can install the utility
1365from @url{http://www.vmware.com/software/dosidle210.zip} to solve this

2464cd /tmp
2465tar zxvf qemu-x.y.z.tar.gz
2466cd qemu-x.y.z
2467@end example
2468
2469Then you configure QEMU and build it (usually no options are needed):
2470@example
2471./configure
2472make
2473@end example
2474
2475Then type as root user:
2476@example
