Thanks for the info. I did a normal installation on SuSE 8.2 too and booted=
 in=20
Qemu without problem. But it takes a long time. Wouldn't it be easier to=20
install GNU/Linux directly in qemu using a CD-ROM installer?

Installers for Mandrake 10, Mandrake 9.x, RedHat 9.x or even Fedora RC-2 ar=
e=20
derived from a RedHat base. In all cases, installation in text mode fails=20
because of CD-ROM recognition problems (see my screenshots on=20
http://am.xs4all.nl/phpwiki/index.php/Qemu).

Is there a way of loading the CDROM module manually, with IRQ and hardware=
=20
address (like it is the case for the "ne" network driver)?

Cheers,
