Looking through old bug tickets... can you still reproduce this issue with the latest version of QEMU? Or could we close this ticket nowadays?

The issue can be reproduced by running the following command line: $ ./arm-softmmu/qemu-system-arm -M versatilepb -kernel $IMAGES/vmlinuz-3.2.0-4-versatile -initrd $IMAGES/initrd.img-3.2.0-4-versatile -hda $IMAGES/debian_wheezy_armel_standard.qcow2 -append "root=/dev/sda1" where $IMAGES is the location where the images are downloaded from http://people.debian.org/~aurel32/qemu/armel/. This was reproduced with both a custom built QEMU as well as the QEMU image installed by http://qemu.weilnetz.de/w32/qemu_w32-setup-20140617.exe. The same command line runs properly on Linux using a custom built QEMU. The Windows versions of QEMU do appear to work properly using the arm- test images available on qemu.org.
