I just pulled the source from CVS and applied the mentioned patch but had no luck (tried running qemu both with and without -isa). It keeps bumping on the "cannot mount root" error and reboot automatically again and again. Looking at the message output, it seems that there are problems when mounting the root using the CDROM. I'll try to download the images again and see how that goes. Thanks a lot for your help.
