still same response with Q*.iso, on both linux24, linux26


I had responded to the list re my attempts w qemu
not sure this got thru, i am on digest....

to repeat some of what i said then:

the quantian iso did pass the md5sum check,
not sure this means anything

# qemu -kernel linux24  -initrd minirt24.gz ../Quantian_0.7.9.2.iso
Could not open '/dev/kqemu' - QEMU acceleration layer not activated


in the qemu window several pages of response
so it at least starts  but finally fails:

VFS: mounted root (ext2...).
attempt to access beyond end of device

01:00: rw=0, want=4193, limit=4096
...
kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k scsi_hostadaptor,  errno = 2
VFS: cannot open root device "" or 08:01
please append a correct "root=" boot option
<<<< is this last a  qemu required part of the execute line?


Kernel panic: VFS: unable to mount root fs on 08:01


does this tell you anything re the the quantian.iso  being corrupt or not?


Dirk suggested retrying w debug options,
but i dont know anything about that
is there a specific howto on this?

any other ideas?
