No probs. I think RAW is much more versatile.

I think the output on the terminal is okay. It just says that QEMU is not
running in KVM mode and would use SW only virtualization. I also get the
same error message but that is because I am running Ubuntu in VBox. I
haven't enabled any virtualization features in Vbox.

I got to the starting MeeGo screen and then am stuck at the boot: prompt. I
try to put in various values but nothing happens. I guess either the mic2 is
broken or there is something wrong in the .ks file. I changed the keyboard
type, timezone and --timeout arguments. I also removed the --append="quiet".

The compilation and everything worked out pretty fine. I got some errors
regarding closing file handles after running mic2. I guess that is because
of some invalid (already deleted temporary files) handles. But I assume the
image creation worked fine.

will be the same problem since I suspect the image creation is messing up
somehow (.ks is a definite suspect). BTW, I used 0.17 tag for my mic2
compilation. 0.9 was giving a lot of compile errors as well as errors wrt
yum version (it wanted .24 whereas the latest is .23).

I tried the USB image instead. Am able boot but am stuck at ACPI startup.
