you need to generate this file.

may I suggest something (while I do it in parallel) ?

please download detaolb_v06.iso and extract the "debug" file at the
root of the iso.
This is a static initramfs file. Use it this way:

qemu -L bios -hda hda -kernel vmlinux -initrd debug

you can find the iso at http://detaolb.sf.net

On my side, I'll compile linux 2.6.18.1 with your config file and test
it over here...
