if you want to run a 2.6.x kernel pass clock=pit into the kernel.
tested so far is fedora core 4, knoppix 3.9 and debian net install disk, have completed a full net install iwth no problems. haven't tested windows yet.. check my blog for more details on the bad code in qemu

At least on S10 GA x86, qemu [b]cannot[/b] be built using /usr/sfw/bin/gcc, that's a
known problem.

Bart Smaalders mentioned a "Sun gcc patch / new version as part of an s10 update"
in this thread; I'm not sure if the current snv builds already contain the fixed
/usr/sfw/bin/gcc. Since qemu is still crashing, I'd say the gcc bug is still present.

I'm using the gcc 3.4.2 from the companion CD available with S10 GA.
The S10 companion CD version of gcc3 is known to be able to compile a working
qemu (on S10 GA x86).
Is your qemu compiled / linked against libSDL? SDL is needed for gui output.
Sounds as if knoppix 3.9 is done booting after 10-15 minutes and is waiting for
keyboard / mouse input - but the gui output / gui window is missing?
