These hangs can be tricky to diagnose. There are a couple of things you can do however: (1) strace qemu to find out what it is doing, or: (2) [harder, but much more informative] gdb into the guest to find out where the guest hangs, or: (3) Take the command line above, and cut it down to try to isolate the problematic options. I would concentrate on the following options as being most likely to cause trouble: -cpu -machine -kernel -device sga (remove it) For (1) and (2) you can use a qemu wrapper to modify the qemu command that the test tool runs.
