Can you provide the stack trace where this hangs? Add CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO, and then - copy vmlinux somewhere on the host filesystem - start the guest - when it hangs, type 'gdbserver' in the qemu monitor - on the host, the 'gdb /path/to/vmlinux' - 'target remote :1234' - 'backtrace' -- error compiling committee.c: too many arguments to function -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
