It seems it is not possible to boot the Visopsys 0.61 ISO image under QEmu 0.8.0. I have tried with the Visopsys 0.6 ISO image and I got the same results : 99% of CPU usage and a blue screen [1] which stays as long as I don't close QEmu. Sad, but I was just curious.

Hmmm, 99% CPU usage and Blue Screen?
Are you sure it wasn't a Windows cd?

Hi all, it's Andy the main Visopsys developer.

I've never tested on Qemu before now but today I installed it and debugged this problem (hang in the mouse driver). I have a source code patch if anyone wants it (email andy@visopsys.org), otherwise here's an ISO image that should work with Qemu 0.8.0:

I guess I'll add Qemu to my testing regimen ;)

Andy
