[Qemu-devel] Using Qemu

Hi,

I am trying to use Qemu, to boot kernel image I got, using the initramfs
image that was build, when I build kernel

But it only loads initramfs image, and gives me prompt with "(initramfs)_",
and thus doesn't load kernel.

Do you guys have any idea, what I am doing wrong.

Thanks for your help.

Care to show us the complete command line you have used to start the
Qemu instance?

Here is the command I issued

"*qemu -initrd initramfs.img -kernel vmlinux-2.6.24 /dev/zero -append
"noapic rw root=/dev/ram*"

Thanks for help.

IIRC, you need to pass the bzImage as the argument of -kernel
parameter, not the vmlinux one. Please try that first.
