Jakob, Thanks for the quick reply, your comments helped me solve it. Analyzing the grub config file in more details cleared it all, as it contained the initrd image to use and the correct disk.
After copying the initrd to the host, I was able to boot the system with the command below: $ qemu-system-x86_64 -m 4G -hda image.img -kernel ./bzImage -initrd ./initramfs-3.17.0-rc5.img -append "root=/dev/mapper/centos-root console=ttyS0" -nographic > Enjoy I sure will :) Cheers, Martin
