hmm, and I have the first issues ...

 # qemu-0.5.3/i386/qemu-fast -nographic -L qemu-0.5.3/pc-bios -m 128 -snapshot 
-hda IMGs/TEST_32M.img -hdb IMGs/TEST_256M.img -kernel 
linux-2.6.5-vs1.9.0pre1-XB/arch/i386/boot/bzImage -append "rw root=/dev/hda1"

ide: Assuming 50MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx

hdc: QEMU CD-ROM, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
Using anticipatory io scheduler

 /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0:<4>hda: set_multmode: status=0x41 { 
DriveReady Error }
hda: set_multmode: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }

...

VFS: Cannot open root device "hda1" or hda1
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on hda1
 <4>Losing too many ticks!
TSC cannot be used as a timesource.  <4>Possible reasons for this are:
  You're running with Speedstep,
  You don't have DMA enabled for your hard disk (see hdparm),
  Incorrect TSC synchronization on an SMP system (see dmesg).
Falling back to a sane timesource now.

where 0.5.2 with the same options gives ...

ide: Assuming 50MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx
hda: QEMU HARDDISK, ATA DISK drive
hdb: QEMU HARDDISK, ATA DISK drive

hda: 65537 sectors (33 MB) w/256KiB Cache, CHS=65/16/63
 /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0:<4>hda: set_multmode: status=0x41 {

hda: set_multmode: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }

hdb: max request size: 128KiB
hdb: 524289 sectors (268 MB) w/256KiB Cache, CHS=520/16/63
 /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0:<4>hdb: set_multmode: status=0x41 { 
DriveReady Error }
hdb: set_multmode: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }
 p1

and everything works fine ...


if you need any additional info, please let me know ...

TIA,
