This has no chance of working. From the point of view of the kernel
running inside Qemu, a path like /home/jeff/... doesn't make any sense.

If you want to get started with a Qemu ARM platform, please do:

	make clean
	make qemu_arm_versatile_defconfig
	make

And then read board/qemu/arm-versatile/readme.txt, which will tell you
which Qemu command to use to test the generated system.

Best regards,

Thomas
