OK, I have an interesting development that I hope will shed some light on the
problem.
This configuration works using a different image (nslookup succeeds and I can
see your debug output):
[mfonnemann@desktopPC qemu]$ /usr/local/bin/qemu-system-i386 -display curses
-readconfig works.cfg --enable-kvm
[mfonnemann@localhost ~]$ nslookup www.google.com
UDP packet for DNS server
translating 302000a against ffffff
302000a
it's an alias
it's DNS
dns_addr is cached: 1020204
got Server:conf entr10.0.2.3.1'
Address: 10.0.2.3#53

[mfonnemann@desktopPC qemu]$ cat works.cfg
[drive]
format = "raw"
file = "fc5.img"
[drive]
format = "vhdx"
file = "placeholder2.vhdx"
[drive]
format = "raw"
file = "swap_512m.img"
[drive]
format = "vhdx"
file = "placeholder.vhdx"
[machine]
usb = "on"
[memory]
size = "2G"
[smp-opts]
cpus = "2"
But my original one still does not:
[mfonnemann@desktopPC qemu]$ /usr/local/bin/qemu-system-i386 -display curses
-readconfig NG.cfg --enable-kvm
root@qemu:~# nslookup www.google.com
*** Unknown host
nslookup: www.google.com: Unknown host
root@qemu:~#
[mfonnemann@desktopPC qemu]$ cat NG.cfg
[drive]
format = "raw"
file = "qemu_rootfs_512.img"
[drive]
format = "raw"
file = "placeholder2.vhdx"
[drive]
format = "raw"
file = "swap_512m.img"
[drive]
format = "vhdx"
file = "placeholder.vhdx"
[machine]
usb = "on"
initrd = "initrd-2.6.11.12.img.gz"
kernel = "vmlinuz-2.6.11.12-vanilla.bz"
append = "root=/dev/hda"
[memory]
size = "2G"
[smp-opts]
cpus = "2"
Both are using static IP addresses.
Mark.
