Thanks! Now I am running:

qemu-system-arm -M vexpress-a9 -kernel vmlinuz-3.2.0-4-vexpress -initrd initrd.img-3.2.0-4-vexpress -sd ../full_disk.qcow2 -append "ext2=1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p7 console=ttyS0"

However, the qemu screen is now empty and no messages are printed in the console other than:

sgzmd@roman-dev:qemu/sunxi]$ qemu-system-arm -M vexpress-a9 -kernel vmlinuz-3.2.0-4-vexpress -initrd initrd.img-3.2.0-4-vexpress -sd ../full_disk.qcow2 -append "ext2=1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p7 console=ttyS0"                     
pulseaudio: set_sink_input_volume() failed
                                          pulseaudio: Reason: Invalid argument
                                                                              pulseaudio: set_sink_input_mute() failed
                                                                                                                      pulseaudio: Reason: Invalid argument

Since the qemu screen empty I can't really see what's the next problem. Using -curses option doesn't help - grey screen and nothing much else.

Also Ctrl-C' no longer works (expected?)
