Hi,

It's my first message so :

Me : I work from a while with Vmware and Virtualbox

I have integrated Virtualbox in the x86 QNAP NAS system



Armel Platform : QNAP NAS TS-219 with a Marvell (Arm) SOC 1,8 Ghz

Test run QEMU x86 emulation inside (VM like freedos or Windows)



Context : only Modules are possible no kernel change ...

... test are done in a chroot env. Debian Squeeze for Armel, so add X11 
client to NAS and use X-Ming or Debian box as X Server



Test working :

install qemu thru apt-get

Start emu from fd (freedos) cdrom (live_cd linux , Win98 installation 
CD) ... all run open the windows, menu and keyboard works, I have add, 
also in fd program to manage the hlt ... so all seems to run. tested 
also qemu-launcher ... works.

Problem :

Each time I create a disk image to add or install on disk ... the 
install (Windows or Freedos) failed because he don't see the disk or 
can't read or write on ????

I have tested qemu-img with raw, qcow, qcow2 without success ...

img file are full rw for all, qemu run under root, but it's same under a 
"normal" user.

Due to the lack of IDE in the Qnap ... I have try also compile modules 
for ide-core and load it (insmod) but no change ...



any advice ? Certainly I forgot somethings .... ?



thanks for help.

Philippe.

Hi all,

Apologize ... I have try using the apt-get install qemu (0.12) and it's 
seem that it's not target the kernel (because Qnap and chroot don't have 
the same level), generally all works fine (virtualbox for ex.) only 
kernel module if needed are to rebuild ...

But at all I have downloaded the 0.15, do the compile (even if I compile 
some platform that I don't use (but I look about after ...))
Now I can write on the image disk

I will start with a win98 install (it's an Arm soc) ... and see what append.

So sorry for this mess. I hope to post more value in the future ...

Philippe.
