Stability problems with qemu

hi all,

I've been playing around with qemu last week, but i'm experiencing some stability problems. But I can't really evoke a crash, it's just when i'm doing something in qemu (trying to install damnsmalllinux on hd) en that doesn't really work like it should, my entire pc hangs. If I'm lucky and the qemu window didn't have the focus, I can ctrl-alt-backspace en restart X, but the qemu sessions keep running (hanging?) in the background. pkill qemu doesn't cut it either.

As my laptop is getter somewhat older (2002), I'm a bit worried that the hardware is getting flaky.

Running kernel26 2.6.22.5-1, with qemu but without kqemu.

How the test what's the real problem?

Re: Stability problems with qemu

QEMU has never felt very solid to me. I suggest you try VirtualBox.
