So far, I have tried Linux 3.10.7-gentoo (Gentoo patchset) and > Linux 3.13-rc1. I have tried QEMU 1.4.2, QEMU 1.6.1 and QEMU HEAD.

With my 3.15.0+ kernel, qemu-system-x86_64 substituted for qemu-kvm, and the path changed from your arguments I get: 9pnet_virtio: no channels available VFS: Cannot open root device "root" or unknown-block(0,0): error -2 Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions: 0b00 1048575 sr0 driver: sr Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS rel-1.7.5-0-ge51488c-20140602_164612-nilsson.home.kraxel.org 04/01/2014 Thanks, Christopher -- Employee of Qualcomm Innovation Center, Inc.
