Ahh.  I figured the emulator needed to run with the same mode as
the underlying CPU.  I'll leave it in G3 mode then and try to run down
the source of the kernel panic.

The machine is an RS/6000 7043-150p with a 375 MHz 604e.  I'm using a
remote Xwindows display as I haven't gotten my framebuffer to work
(another project in itself).

When were the changes made?  I was trying to run it from a tree I
pulled this morning via rsync from rsync.penguinppc.org (23 Feb).

Booting with --config=v I get:

Unresolved kernel trap(cpu 0): 0x700 - Program DAR=0x0b71e900 PC=0x0b57434c

This is the first kernel trap.  It's followed by two others after the
"you must restart your computer screen" pops up.  What other info can I
provide to you?
