as i said the kernel&initrd is ok if i boot them (using grub) from an
iso image. anyway i've tried to uncompress the gzipped initrd, and it
didn't help (same "RAMDISK: Couldn't find valid RAM disk image
starting at 0." error message)

if grub is able to boot the kernel & initrd and qemu isn't then the
kernel & initrd should be ok, just the parameters may be wrong or
there should be some problem with qemu itself. or am i wrong?

thanks,
VMiklos
