I have now tried 3.8.3-102.fc17.armv7l and it still fails to boot. The last
known good kernel is 3.7.6-102.fc17.armv7l.
Hi Alex,
I was able to boot 3.8.3-102.fc17.armv7l and the latest kernel-3.8.5-101.fc17 using
qemu-system-arm-1.4.0-9.fc19.x86_64. Using the provided boot script you would only
need to add the required 'dtb' to the existing command, for example:
qemu-system-arm -machine vexpress-a9 -m 1024 -nographic -net nic -net user \
-append "console=ttyAMA0,115200n8 rw root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootwait
physmap.enabled=0" \
-kernel "$KERN" \
-initrd "$RAMFS" \
-sd "$IMAGE" \
--dtb dtb-<kernel version>/vexpress-v2p-ca9.dtb
In 'qemu-system-arm-1.4.0-9.fc19.x86_64' A15 support is also working using those
kernels,
changing the hardware (-machine vexpress-a15) in boot script and using the
vexpress-v2p-ca15_a7.dtb from the kernel package. Using A15 will allow an increase to
2 GB of ram, however there were a few backtraces at the beginning of the boot.
