I'm running a Windows 2000 SP4 guest on a Linux 2.6.16 host with Qemu CVS and 
kqemu 1.3.0pre3. I am trying to use -kernel-kqemu. I have been allocating 256 
MB of RAM to my guest (out of 768 MB total) and I have found that using that 
amount of memory with -kernel-kqemu causes Windows 2000 to freeze at the 
graphical boot up screen (after 'Starting Windows...') and qemu to take up 
95-100% CPU. Reducing the amount of guest RAM to 160 MB makes that problem go 
away. I also tried 192 MB and that did not work. Is there a limit to the 
amount of memory that may be used with the -kernel-kqemu option?

And now for something completely different.
