The --no-kvm-irqchip option on the command line may have solved the problem= . I also may have walked away from the machine for 6 hours only to return and find that it had installed, .... only to tear down the ubuntu distro based VM and replace the thing with a gentoo kernel specifically for hostin= g kvm. The gentoo qemu + --no-kvm-irqchip thing has definately kept the plan9.iso installation online. Here is my command-line, its miniscule compared to yours. qemu-system-x86_64 --enable-kvm -net nic,macaddr=3D45:45:45:45:45:45 -net tap,ifname=3D9tap,script=3Dno,downscript=3Dno -vga std --no-kvm-irqchip -vn= c:1 -hda /home/kvm9/plan9.img -m 256 -daemonize If you havent tried this already: Or perhaps this, --no-kqemu since this is BSD complaining about an invalid nvram checksum, other threads seem to indicate the CMOS layout error google search pops on BSD across softwares. http://qemu-forum.ipi.fi/viewtopic.php?f=3D7&t=3D1921 On Wed, Mar 2, 2011 at 10:12 AM, Stanley Lieber w= rote: > To recap: > > I'm attempting to install Plan 9 from a recent .iso on a hosted KVM/qemu > account.
