HI !
so the problem whth 2.6.X and qemu on a console was is simply that
the default 2.6.X kernel settings is to have the serial
console disabled and thus no output when booting with -nographic
2.4.X had it on by default.. The parameters (-append "root=/dev/hda") don't
cause any problems no matter what settings you have - they do cause kernel
problems but they will not stop qemu. So it looks like it works fine on
a tty with -nographic with the following settings in 2.6.X:
make menuconfig:
Device Driver --->
...
Character Devices --->
...
Serial drivers --->
...
[*] Console on 8250/16550 and compatible serial port
which results in
CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_CONSOLE=y
in the .config being set.
qemu then needs a:
-append "console=ttyS0"
this is necessary to get any output as qemu treats stdout on a terminal as
serial device and not as VGA (which is what confused me).
thx for your help !
