Hi Antonin

Thanks for getting back to us.  I have some further questions about
your problem.

Can you let us know which QEMU version you are using and how you installed it?
Also, just to confirm, this error is present when you invoke QEMU 
from the simulate target?  Finally, which machine target did you build
for, ia32_pc99, ia32_pc99_vga or ia32_pc99_fb?
