QEMU install fail

I've been trying to install Arch into a QEMU hard disk image recently, but without much luck.

During the installation, after editing and saving '/etc/rc.conf', an error message pops up at the bottom of vim:

/arch/setup line 1406  13200 segmentation fault
chroot ${DESTDIR} /sbin/hwclock --directisa --localtime --hctosys

My QEMU commands are:
qemu-img create -f qcow2 /data/.qemu/arch.img 6G
qemu-system-x86_64 -cdrom arch.iso -hda arch.img -m 1024 -boot d -kernel-kqemu clock=pit  major=0 -soundhw sb16

I've tried appending '-localtime' to the end of the second command, and also trying both 'localtime' and 'UTC' options in '/etc/rc.conf'.

Any suggestions?

Re: QEMU install fail

OK, not using '-kernel-kqemu' and 'major=0' seems to have fixed this. kqemu apparently doesn't like arch as a guest OS
