For the raspbian kernel image I had it never worked -- I think the kernel gained some new functionality that means it now touches some device we don't yet implement (vague recollection it was somethnig message-box related?). > I've dropped the ball on this, and don't forsee finding time > for it in the immediate future, but if anyone wants to work > on it there are still some outstanding bits of emulation > lurking in my github tree (github.com/0xabu/qemu) Yeah, I figured that was probably the situation, and I don't personally have the time to do it either; but it seemed like maybe it would make a GSoC project. thanks -- PMM
