Which qemu are you cloning? When we taught 6.828 over IAP term we ported the patches to qemu 1.7.0 and put them up at https://github.com/geofft/qemu. I see the repo has a 2.3.0 and 2.4.0 branch now too. I last built 1.7.0 on Debian 6 (squeeze); newer Debian and Ubuntu should work fine. (Make sure you have libsdl1.2-dev installed)

I got it to work but I have no idea how. I tried all the branches and the official sources, they all failed the same way. I deleted and recloned the 1.7.0 branch and that worked. Shrug.

Thanks for your help.
