Erm, I just forgot to attach it. My bad.

I tried

QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=spice /usr/bin/qemu-kvm -S -M fedora-13 -enable-kvm -m
1024 -smp 1,sockets=1,cores=1,threads=1 -name windows -uuid
a5a9cf48-603e-5795-ba0f-b5692ce2d93d -nodefconfig -nodefaults -chardev
socket,id=monitor,path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/windows.monitor,server,nowait
-mon chardev=monitor,mode=control -rtc base=localtime -boot c -drive
if=none,media=cdrom,id=drive-ide0-1-0,readonly=on,format=raw -device
ide-drive,bus=ide.1,unit=0,drive=drive-ide0-1-0,id=ide0-1-0 -drive
file=/var/lib/libvirt/images/windows.img,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0,boot=on,format=raw
-device
virtio-blk-pci,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6,drive=drive-virtio-disk0,id=virtio-disk0
-netdev tap,fd=42,id=hostnet0 -device
virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,mac=52:54:00:6a:d1:82,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4
-chardev pty,id=serial0 -device isa-serial,chardev=serial0 -usb -device
usb-tablet,id=input0 -vga qxl -device AC97,id=sound0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5
-device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3

but it failed even worse:

char device redirected to /dev/pts/7
qemu-kvm: -netdev tap,fd=42,id=hostnet0: TUNGETIFF ioctl() failed: Bad
file descriptor
TUNSETOFFLOAD ioctl() failed: Bad file descriptor
spice_server_add_interface: SPICE_INTERFACE_QXL
red_worker_main: begin
red_init: ASSERT init_data->num_renderers > 0 failed

Przerwane (core dumped)

Should I try to get the backtrace? Adding -L /usr/share/qemu/ did not
change anything (that's where the vga bios resides)
