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.
