[Qemu-devel] qemu on 2.6.0-rc1

[Rutger Nijlunsing (thuis) <rutger@wingding.demon.nl>]

Hi,

I try to run qemu-fast on Linux kernel 2.6.0-rc1. I could not find the
things which I should change in the documentation:

    # The kernel must be mapped at 0x90000000 (the default is 0xc0000000). You must modify only two lines in the kernel source: In `include/asm/page.h', replace
    #define __PAGE_OFFSET           (0xc0000000)
    by
    #define __PAGE_OFFSET           (0x90000000)
    
    And in `arch/i386/vmlinux.lds', replace
      . = 0xc0000000 + 0x100000;
    by
      . = 0x90000000 + 0x100000;

The problems are that vmlinux.lds does not exist, and page.h looks
different.

However, I did change the 2 occurances of 0xc0000000 into 0x90000000:

#ifdef __ASSEMBLY__
#define __PAGE_OFFSET		(0x90000000)
#else
#define __PAGE_OFFSET		(0x90000000UL)
#endif

After recompiling the kernel, both qemu-fast and qemu refuses to boot
this kernel:

qemu -nographic -hda linux.img -kernel ../linux-qemu/arch/i386/boot/bzImage -append "root=/dev/hda ide2=noprobe ide3=noprobe ide4=noprobe ide5=noprobe"

...boots not bzImage, but the kernel which resides in the image file
linux.img.

ls -l ../linux-qemu/arch/i386/boot/bzImage  gives:
-rw-rw-r--    1 rutger   rutger     948860 Jan  5 21:37 ../linux-qemu/arch/i386/boot/bzImage

Do I need to change something different in 2.6?
