Hi Peter,
sorry for the delay, here's my report. I got the qemu linux image from the
qemu website and did the following:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:10:34:25:qemu:9553)-> qemu -kernel
/boot/2.6.22-4fd06960f120e02e9abc802a09f9511c400042a5-12 -append
"root=/dev/hda" linux-0.2.img
and the kernel did boot just fine so the problem should be pertaining only to
the
case when we boot on the bare hardware...
