Possible bug: Bochs 2.3.5 using QEMU images (Announce)

posted by Japheth , Germany (South), 04.10.2007, 09:59

All the "plain" images I created with QEMU-IMG are no longer readable with Bochs 2.3.5 (No problems with v2.3).

I used the "translation=auto" parameter, but the auto-detection no longer works:

>>PANIC<<:: geometry autodetection failed

The bad thing is, I cannot circumvent this bug by setting a valid disk geometry manually, because Bochs v2.3.5 does not accept the "correct" values.

A bad regression.
