Bug Description
The latest git version of qemu (commit 420b6c317de8789
You can obtain a bootable image of Nextenta from http://
Host: Linux/x86_64 gcc4.5 ./configure --enable-linux-aio --enable-io-thread --enable-kvm
qemu-img create nexenta3.0.1 3G
qemu -hda nexenta3.0.1 -cdrom nexenta-
Boots to grub OK, but when you hit install you get panic[cpu0]
You get the same error with or without -enable-kvm

I have found that I can get to the installer if I give the -no-acpi argument.
As others have noted, Netexnta is very slow. To get any sort of speed I used the 32-bit version and disabled QEMU disc caching, thus:
qemu -drive file=nexenta3. 0.1,index= 0,media= disk,cache= unsafe -cdrom nexenta- core-platform_ 3.0.1-b134_ x86.iso -boot d -k en-us -m 512 -enable-kvm -no-acpi
Even then, performance is painful.
