i am new at this. I am trying to boot a linux kernel image cross compiled for powerpc inside qemu. I followed guides on the web, but i am stuck and i don;t really know what do to next.
qemu-system-ppc -kernel vmlinux_2 -hda ss1.1.img -append "console=ttyS0 root=/dev/sda1" -nographic

from here on it does nothing, i can enter monitor mode but nothing. Nothing happens. I even tried to copy a fs to the img file hoping that smt would happen but nothing. If i run the command without the nographic option vnc only shows me a white screen with the bios version, and a blinking cursor. Any ideeas / advice? I looked trough the qemu documentation, but the problem is i don't even know where i am wrong.
