Need help with emulating acer aspire one d257 bios

Post by nomad »

Hi everyone,

I want to emulate the acer aspire one d257 bios using qemu. I have the actual machine but it is a pain to reboot every time in order to test my bootloader. I got the bin file online and tested it but it is not working. The emulator boots up and the only message I get is "Guest has not initialized the display (yet)". It freezes at that point.

This is the command I run.

qemu-system-x86_64 -M pc -bios AOD257.bin -m 512

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks...

Hi,

I'm sorry, but we run a forum dedicated to emulating Macs. So knowledge about running Qemu is mainly limited to that.
Perhaps your question has a better chance of getting answered on the qemu user mailing list.

Best,
