Reply-To: qemu-devel@nongnu.org List-Id: qemu-devel.nongnu.org List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , To: qemu-devel@nongnu.org Heya guys, I am trying to create my own uclibc/busybox floppy bootdisk, and am running into an issue with the expansion of the RAMDISK... the CPU shoots up to 100% and even leaving it overnight, it never recovers from that situation. I have tried it under qemu 0.7.2 and 0.8.0 in linux and windows, and all fail to boot the image, where as vmware (and/or native) boot the disk fine, and goes correctly to the "Please press Enter to activate this console". I am using the command line: qemu -fda floppy.img -boot a And it loads up the kernel, no problem, reaching the ramdisk stage, and then it dies at the following: RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 680 If anyone wants a crack at this, the image can be found at http://tusker.sg/floppy.img How would I go about debugging this issue? Cheers in advance, Damien
