Bug Description

I was built kernel-genkernel-x86_64-3.17.3-gentoo-gnu and initramfs-genkernel-x86_64-3.17.3-gentoo-gnu in Gentoo Linux from sys-kernel/gentoo-sources/gentoo-sources-3.17.3.ebuild

When I run this kernel with switches -kernel -initrd -append (and others), qemu gives misleading message:

"qemu: linux kernel too old to load a ram disk"

this is not an old linux! Just something should be configured better.

I loaded kernel and initramfs through symlinks and make that symlinks wrong (kernel become initramfs and vice versa)

Changed in qemu:
status:	New → Invalid
