It looks like the kernel is overwriting the initrd image. When I increase the space for the kernel to 64Mb: --- qemu-0.8.2/hw/pc.c.orig 2006-12-04 22:17:09.000000000 +0100 +++ qemu-0.8.2/hw/pc.c 2006-12-04 22:04:36.000000000 +0100 @@ -32,7 +32,7 @@ #define LINUX_BOOT_FILENAME "linux_boot.bin" #define KERNEL_LOAD_ADDR 0x00100000 -#define INITRD_LOAD_ADDR 0x00600000 +#define INITRD_LOAD_ADDR 0x04100000 #define KERNEL_PARAMS_ADDR 0x00090000 #define KERNEL_CMDLINE_ADDR 0x00099000 I can successfully boot.
