Unfortunately, fix from bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1830872 seems to be nonn-effective for my case. For reproduction (on 32-bit x86 host, in my case Slackware with gcc 5.5.0): ./configure --target-list=x86_64-softmmu --disable-werror --enable-debug-tcg make (-j5 in my case) try to boot any 64-bit kernel: x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -kernel /boot/bzImage-4.12.0-x64 -accel tcg result is - qemu appear to hang right after "Booting the kernel" line. Decompression (xz) was ok. Tested with qemu-git commit e2a58ff493a2e00db3e963c1839c5374500110f2 32-bit OS can be booted fine, and -enable-kvm also allow 64 bit kernel/os to boot. bug fixed in current git (commit 474f3938d79ab36b9231c9ad3b5a9314c2aeacde). Thanks, Alex!
