On the latest qemu CVS, the boot loader hangs before printing "Ready" and booting the kernel. But if I use the same version of qemu with the BIOS from 0.8.2, it boots just fine. For a simple test case, grab this Fedora boot disk: http://xenon.stanford.edu/~eswierk/misc/fc6-diskboot-serial.img.bz2 which I've modified to redirect output to the serial port, and run: qemu -hda fc6-diskboot-serial.img -nographic Any clues would be appreciated. --Ed
