As you may have seen from the mailing list:
http://lists.milkymist.org/pipermail/devel-milkymist.org/2010-
February/000413.html
Takeshi had already fixed this problem when I wrote the initial email.

One similar - and still open - problem you can look at is that the loadable 
kernel modules do not work (insmod always print "invalid module format" and 
fails).

There is also the AC97 driver (I started working on it) that needs to be fixed 
and finalized. Since audio isn't supported in QEMU yet, you may also need to 
develop a simulation model for it.

Thanks a lot!
