hey Vagrant,
I just root caused an issue w/ the same symptom on ia64. Turns out
the bootloader was passing a bloated initrd_size option to the kernel.
Since initramfs is known to work on x86 w/ other bootloaders, I'm
thinking qemu maybe doing the same thing.
Can you try a test for me?
1) Rebuild your kernel w/ the following patch, and post a copy of the
boot log
2) Post the output of zcat /boot/initrd-img-2.6.14-1-386 | wc -c
