Yes, I boot it with qemu-system-x86_64-4.1.50 on ubuntu20.04:
qemu-system-x86_64 -kernel /home/rlk/workspace/compile/out/arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage -hda \
 /home/rlk/myspace/qemu_build/rootfs.img -append "root=/dev/sda console=ttyS0" -nographic

using the kernel compiled with ubuntu20.04's default .config.

It seems nothing abnormal.
And i did not do other test.
