+QEMU prepends pathnames to command lines of Multiboot kernels and modules, contrary to the specification
+
+When QEMU is launched with the -kernel option to boot a Multiboot image, the command line passed in the -append option is additionally prefixed the pathname of the kernel image and a space. Likewise, module command lines passed in the -initrd option are passed with the module pathname and a space prepended. At the very least the former is contary to what is prescribed in the Multiboot specification, version 0.6.96[0], which says in §3.3:
+
+> General-purpose boot loaders should allow user a complete control on command line independently of other factors like image name.
+
+With respect to module command lines, the spec is less clear, but GNU GRUB2 (the de facto reference implementation) does not prepend pathnames to command lines of either. I haven't tested GRUB legacy, but I assume it exhibits the same behaviour. It would be strange if passing pathnames was in fact intended; bootloader pathnames are useless to the loaded kernel, which may potentially have a completely different view of the file system from the bootloader.
+
+Also, given that a kernel pathname may contain spaces, skipping it in the command line cannot be done reliably, while loading a Multiboot module from a pathname that contains spaces is outright impossible.
+
+Found in 4.2.0, but latest git master apparently behaves the same.

+The QEMU project is currently moving its bug tracking to another system.
+For this we need to know which bugs are still valid and which could be
+closed already. Thus we are setting the bug state to "Incomplete" now.
+
+If the bug has already been fixed in the latest upstream version of QEMU,
+then please close this ticket as "Fix released".
+
+If it is not fixed yet and you think that this bug report here is still
+valid, then you have two options:
+
+1) If you already have an account on gitlab.com, please open a new ticket
+for this problem in our new tracker here:
+
+    https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues
+
+and then close this ticket here on Launchpad (or let it expire auto-
+matically after 60 days). Please mention the URL of this bug ticket on
+Launchpad in the new ticket on GitLab.
+
+2) If you don't have an account on gitlab.com and don't intend to get
+one, but still would like to keep this ticket opened, then please switch
+the state back to "New" or "Confirmed" within the next 60 days (other-
+wise it will get closed as "Expired"). We will then eventually migrate
+the ticket automatically to the new system (but you won't be the reporter
+of the bug in the new system and thus you won't get notified on changes
+anymore).
+
+Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience.
+
+
+
+This is an automated cleanup. This bug report has been moved to QEMU's
+new bug tracker on gitlab.com and thus gets marked as 'expired' now.
+Please continue with the discussion here:
