Hi all, after compiling my kernel on the arm architecture I was not able to start it because qemu was segfaulting or going to an infinite loop.
After google'ing I found on launchpad the bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/524893 Following the indications, I rebuilt qemu with an higher initrd load address and the kernel booted correctly. I am trying to make the things easier and/or to fail gracefully with patchset but I am not familiar with the ARM architecture neither qemu internals, so may be I am totally wrong :) The first patch raise an error if there is an overlapping error. But the two next patches makes to compute automatically an address for initrd to loaded.
