Hi,

Works for me:

Linux version 3.7.0+ (lars@lars-laptop) (gcc version 4.5.2 20101208 (RTEMS
gcc-4.5.2-1.fc14/newlib-1.18.0-27.fc14) (GCC) ) #2525 Tue Feb 19 20:09:27 CET 
2013
Built 1 zonelists in Zone order, mobility grouping on.  Total pages: 292608
Kernel command line: init=/bin/sh root=/dev/ram0 console=ttyS0
PID hash table entries: 4096 (order: 2, 16384 bytes)
Dentry cache hash table entries: 262144 (order: 8, 1048576 bytes)
Inode-cache hash table entries: 131072 (order: 7, 524288 bytes)
Memory available: 113508k/1179648k RAM, (1961k kernel code, 500k data)
NR_IRQS:32
Console: colour dummy device 80x25
Calibrating delay loop... 3889.15 BogoMIPS (lpj=7778304)
pid_max: default: 4096 minimum: 301

What I did was:

make defconfig
make simpleImage.milkymist_one
qemu-system-lm32 -M milkymist -nographic -kernel
arch/lm32/boot/simpleImage.milkymist_one -initrd
/opt/Projects/openwrt-git/bin/lm32/openwrt-lm32-root.ext4  -s -append
"init=/bin/sh root=/dev/ram0 console=ttyS0"

If the kernel gets stuck on "Calibrating delay loop..." this usually means that
the timer IRQ never fires. I haven't updated my qemu in a few months, so it
might be the case that something in qemu broke. One thing you could try is to
use mwalle's qemu repo: git://github.com/mwalle/qemu.git

Added mwalle and milkmist mailinglist to Cc.
