Andreas, Thanks for the tip about qemu-system-x86_64 - I didn't see that anywhere in the documentation:
http://www.qemu.org/qemu-doc.html Now that I'm running the right qemu, it loads the kernel and the initrd, but hangs following these lines: Setting APIC routing to flat .TIMER: vector=0x30 apic1=0 pin1=0 apic2=-1 pin2=-1 .MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC ..trying to set up timer (IRQ0) through the 8259A ... .... (found apic 0 pin 0) ... ...... failed. ..trying to set up timer as Virtual Wire IRQ which I had to transcribe manually because there appears to be no way to capture text in the qemu window. I click in it and it says "hit ctrl-alt to exit grab" but it isn't actually grabbing anything -- neither the mouse or keyboard does anything in the qemu window. Any help greatly appreciated. -dave
