[Bug 144368] Re: qemu fails to boot a disk image in gutsy
This bug was nominated for Gutsy but does currently not qualify for a 7.10 stable release update (SRU) and the nomination is therefore declined. According the the SRU policy, the fix should already be deployed and tested in the current development version before an update to the stable releases will be considered. With 7.10 now released, that policy applies to this bug. See: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates . The bug is not being closed as work will continue on fixing it for the next release, Hardy Heron (8.04).

[Bug 144368] Re: qemu fails to boot a disk image in gutsy
Same as Tim here. One of the VM I created in Feisty, a gutsy install, stopped booting while finding the network interface when I booted after I upgraded the host to Gutsy. I've tried the recovery mode on the guest, but it stopped on the same place (while finding network interface). Then I trashed the VM, created a new disk image and tried to boot it with the Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Desktop CD for a new install. Once more it stopped booting (don't really know where) and gave me an initramfs prompt. Then I found this bug report. I had to remove qemu, kqemu, downloaded the qemu and kqemu packages from Feisty, rebuild the module, and finally block the those packages versions in Synaptic so they didn't get upgraded back to the non- functional gutsy package.

[Bug 144368] Re: qemu fails to boot a disk image in gutsy
I tried downgrading to feisty's qemu-0.8.2. It will boot and load [k,x]ubuntu, but for some reason my network does not work. It used to work under feisty. So, I tried qemu 0.9.0+20070816 from packages.debian.org, but it will drops to the initramfs prompt also, just like gutsy's qemu. Now I have tried building qemu from the bellard source with no patches. It will boot successfully, but it will not connect to the network. It's a good thing that gutsy has virtualbox-ose, or I couldn't run a vm.

Same problem here. I have a WinXP installation in QEMU that ran perfectly under feisty. After upgrading to Gutsy, it hangs during boot. I inserted the WinXP install CD and booted from it. It starts loading installation files off the CD and then BSOD (page fault). I reverted QEMU back to 0.8, but it is still very flaky. The WinXP desktop came up once, but then crashed.

Forgot to add: I'm running QEMU 0.9 + kernel 2.6.22 on my other PC (which is Gentoo) and it has no problem with running the WinXP QEMU session.

I just want to add that I've got the exact same problem as Alan Pope. Under Feisty qemu worked fine but under gutsy I get dropped to an initramfs prompt (the image is Ubuntu 7.04 server).
