Hi, qemu-system-x86_64 runs well and i can boot and run the guest system. Thats works very well. Command: /usr/local/kvm/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -m 512 -hda /var/VM/roadrunner.local/hda.qcow2 -smp 1 -vnc 192.168.2.30:5555 -net nic,macaddr=DE:AD:BE:EF:90:26 -net tap,ifname=tap0,script=no,downscript=no -boot c Then i tried to add an intel 82574L network adapter to the guest. Just the same command with addtionally "-pcidevice host=07:00.0" Then i connected via VNC and see BIOS startpage and the following lines: Initializing Intel(r) boot agent ge v1.3.21 pxe 2.1 build 086 (WfM 2.0) Press f12 for moot menu You can see a screenshot at http://nxt7.de/download/qemu.png The guests keep on this point and nothing changes. (I have wait hours.) I tried to press F12 in ThightVNC but no action. I must say that ThightVNC has problems with special chars (in my case). At this point, i need your help.
