[Qemu-devel] Init= string

[Qemu-devel] Init= string

[Jeff Jones]

Hello,

I have a G4/800 with an Nvidia 64M card in it.  I downloaded the
MacOSX installer and I'm trying to run mandrake-10.0.  I followed the
command line qemu statement to the letter and qemu opens up the
mandrake splash screen but then it kernel panics and complains that
there is no init and that I should pass an init string to the kernel. 
Can somebody tell me the string and syntax to do this?

By the way, QEMU is very cool and I can't wait to finally run
Mandrake-10.0 on my Mac.

Thanks,

Jeff

Can you verify that your disk image checksum is correct? And try with 
other isos. Also you can check your launch command it should be
qemu -hda img.img -boot c m 128 -cirrusvga -user-net.

If you downloaded these from www.Freeoszoo.org then you can't use stuffit to decompress the file..   you shoud use this command.
tar -xjf guest_image_name.tar.bz2
