Without the rest of the command line it is hard to know.

This works for me:

qemu-system-arm -machine vexpress-a15 \
	-device virtio-net-device,netdev=net0 -netdev type=user,id=net0 \
	-dtb vexpress-v2p-ca15-tc1.dtb -kernel vmlinuz -initrd initrd.gz \
	-drive file=debian-8.6.0-armhf-netinst.iso,if=none,id=cd \
	-device virtio-scsi-device -device scsi-cd,drive=cd \
	-append "console=ttyAMA0" -nographic

Of course adding a hard disk would be useful.

So what system were you emulating?
