Hi, Admittedly this looks more like a Qemu issue but it effects KVM too which is all I'm interested in. I have a kernel and initrd which contains a mini busybox root environment which I want to boot directly using -kernel and -initrd. Now this works fine on first start but if I reboot within the system QEMU crashes out on the next run. I used "-hda /dev/zero" instead of a HD image. When qemu crashes after the reboot it dumps something like this:
