A few more details for s390x: why you can't set param '-S' and need '-chardev vc,id=cons -device virtio-serial-s390 -device virtconsole,chardev=cons' on s390x: 1) qemu-system-s390x -M s390-virtio -vnc :0 -enable-kvm -smp 1 -m 1024 -k de -kernel /boot/image-2.6.34-tue01 -initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.34-tue01_GUEST -drive file=/data/sle11.img -append "root=/dev/vda1 rw" => screenshot 1 2) qemu-system-s390x -S -M s390-virtio -vnc :0 -enable-kvm -smp 1 -m 1024 -k de -kernel /boot/image-2.6.34-tue01 -initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.34-tue01_GUEST -drive file=/data/sle11.img -append "root=/dev/vda1 rw" => screenshot 2 3) qemu-system-s390x -M s390-virtio -vnc :0 -enable-kvm -smp 1 -m 1024 -k de -kernel /boot/image-2.6.34-tue01 -initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.34-tue01_GUEST -drive file=/data/sle11.img -append "root=/dev/vda1 rw" -chardev vc,id=cons -device virtio-serial-s390 -device virtconsole,chardev=cons => RUN 4) qemu-system-s390x -S -M s390-virtio -vnc :0 -enable-kvm -smp 1 -m 1024 -k de -kernel /boot/image-2.6.34-tue01 -initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.34-tue01_GUEST -drive file=/data/sle11.img -append "root=/dev/vda1 rw" -chardev vc,id=cons -device virtio-serial-s390 -device virtconsole,chardev=cons => screenshot 4 Regards, Patrick Siegl Am 25.01.2011 19:37, schrieb Justin Clift:
