Sorry. Please see

https://github.com/groeck/linux-build-test/tree/master/rootfs/parisc

My tests enable a number of device and debug options on top of defconfig.
Those are not necessary, though. The problem can be reproduced with defconfig.

With the initrd available from there, and with an image built using 'defconfig',
run

qemu-system-hppa \
	-kernel vmlinux -no-reboot \
	-initrd rootfs.cpio.gz \
	-append 'rdinit=/sbin/init console=ttyS0,115200' \
	-nographic -monitor null

I tested with qemu 2.12 and 3.0. Using "arch/parisc/boot/bzImage" as kernel
image does not make a difference.

Note: The initrd auto-reboots. To avoid that, add "noreboot" as additional
command line option.

Hope this helps,

Guenter
