I downloaded Qemu+Kqemu source from the Qemu webpage. I applied the patch philips pointed out: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=291775 The actual patch: https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=158316&action=edit The guest OS successfully detects the QEMU-CDROM now.
The guest kernel doesn't panic anymore when I use kqemu. I don't know if the resolution was compiling with GCC3.4, or if there was a change in the source I downloaded.
