I've never managed to boot a kernel I built. A year ago I did manage to get
the Ubuntu 5.10 bootable CD to boot though. (Of course the _install_ CD
refused to boot. Possibly specifying a hard drive image as well as a CD
confused it.)
I couldn't get anything newer to boot. Possibly it was because I upgraded
qemu?
Is -kernel expected to work with qemu-system-ppc?
I note that http://www.qemu.org/download.html has test images for sparc, arm,
mips, misel, and x86. I can attest that x86-64 also works, and could provide
a test image if somebody wanted.
But they don't have a ppc test image, and I haven't managed to make one yet...
