Can anyone post some instructions and, perhaps, a .config for 2.6.16 so I can get some output like kernel boot messages and a login screen? I've got gxemul emulating code and running a kernel, which I can test by stopping emulation and stepping the code. Qemu seems to boot my qemu-specific kernel but I get no output and qemu appears to hang (won't take keyboard input). I can't seem to get either emulator to load my initrd, but that doesn't really matter at this stage since I can't see anything anyway (I have no idea how to using gxemul, and qemu refuses to load the image). Something that could emulate a NEC VR41xx chip would be icing on the cake, but I'll take anything I can get at this stage. Many thanks in advance, Chris -- Chris Boot bootc@bootc.net http://www.bootc.net/
