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 hi, I notice that this would be a very newbie question. Hope you can point me out. I am going to simulate i386 arch. But I cannot run it just with initrd and vmlinuz just like running it for mips arch. It always complained about missing the hda image file. When I applied the hda.img file, the kernel will panic due to the file format (eg, ext3). Acturallly, my goal is trying to use qemu to setup a kernel debugging envir. Your help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Neo -- I would remember that if researchers were not ambitious probably today we haven't the technology we are using!
