I still can't get any Fedora 17 kernel (soft or hard FP) to boot on qemu-system-arm, on either F17/x86_64 or F17/arm host. On x86-64 it just consumes 100% of CPU, no console, no video, never touches the disk image. On ARM host, qemu-system-arm crashes in TCG. In fact, I have never once got qemu-system-arm to do anything useful, despite trying over many years.
