Sounds like the problem is that your rpm is a pre-compiled binary of qemu, but to apply any patches what you need is the source code, maybe the nightly cvs snapshot from http://www.dad-answers.com/qemu/. After you get it, you need to untar it, apply any patches you need, and then compile it. That's not always simple but there's instructions in qemu-doc.html.

Alternatively, get a pre-compiled binary with the patches you need installed - if one exists. I don't know if it will work, but you could try removing your qemu rpm and instead downloading http://www.praguespringpeople.org/Struan/Software/QEMU/Builds/qemu-snapshot-2005-03-26_23-on-quit.tgz (which is the version I'm using). You would have to untar it and, inside the folder it extracts, run 'make install' (as root). You'd probably run into the ever-expanding filesystem problem if you're installing Windows 2000 using it though.

Thanks for your tip, but I have a further (maybe) silly question: stated
that the qemu version I mainly use is an rpm for qemu-0.6.1-3.1 on a Fedora
Core 2 installation, where should I find the qemu/hw/ide.c file ? I looked
for it over the whole filesystem without finding it.
