Hi Walter,
I just downloaded the Mandriva image and tried booting in qemu 0.9.1. It works
with "kernel-kqemu", "kqemu", and also with "no-kqemu" options flawlessly. I
used exactly your commands to create the image and start qemu (with the
exception that I used a local ISO image instead of /dev/cdrom).
Host is a 64bit Intel running latest 32bit Kubuntu.
Can you boot anything else (like the sample images from the Qemu homepage)?
