[Qemu-discuss] Problem with qemu-system-mips. Only got a black screen

[Jaime]

Hello,

I'm trying to use qemu-system-mips with no results, nothing but a black screen appears.
I've used both qemu package from ubuntu 12.04 (1.0.50)  and local version compiled (1.2.0 and 1.2.50) with same results.
Here is the configure:
./configure --target-list=mips-softmmu,mips-linux-user
make

It compiles without problem. But when running:

mips-softmmu/qemu-system-mips -kernel ~/Descargas/mips-test/vmlinux-2.6.18-3-qemu  -initrd ~/Descargas/mips-test/initrd.gz --append "console=/dev/ttyS0,init=/bin/bash"

this shows a black screen, anything else, no messages in the window nor in the console.
I downloaded mips-test image from http://wiki.qemu.org/Testing but also I've tested other (which is the one I'm interested on, using OpenWrt) with same results.

Any idea what's going on?

Thanks!

Jaime
