MP BIOS bug on qemu from pkgsrc-2010Q2 on i386? - no linux boots

[Siju George <sgeorge.ml@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I could get Windows XP running on my qemu-0.12.4 installed from pkgsrc-2010Q2.
But none of the Linux Archlinux, Suse, Ubuntu, Frugalware I tried boots :-(

They all get stuch after a few lines in the begining.

Frugalware shows

MP BIOS bug: 8354 not connected to IO-APIC

where is the trouble?

thanks :-)
