Package: qemu
Version: 0.8.2-5
Severity: normal
Hi,
The Debian patch 05_non-fatal_if_linux_hd_missing included in the Qemu
package removes the exit(1) present in the original code, which makes
Qemu exit when no disk image has been specified while booting directly
a Linux kernel.
However, it is not really useful, since it crashes immediatly after:
$ qemu -kernel /boot/vmlinuz
A disk image must be given for 'hda' when booting a Linux kernel
Segmentation fault
(Booting with a disk image works correctly).
Anyway, I don't understand why it is not possible to boot without a
disk image. One could for example boot over nfsroot, for example.
Sincerly,
Thomas

This was fixed in a previous release, but missed the bug closure in
the changelog. The relevant entry is:
* Fix segfault when booting a Linux kernel w/o a disk image, by exiting but
clarifying the message, as to use '/dev/null'. (Closes: #409817, #411780)
Thanks to Robert Millan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
