I am trying to reproduce this but could boot a 4.9-rc3 kernel as guest. Are there any special settings? Here my command line: qemu-system-aarch64 -name qemu.test -enable-kvm -smp 8 -m 16G -cpu host -nographic -kernel /boot/vmlinuz-4.9.0-rc3.0.vanilla10-00002-gcfd8c2cee6ac -initrd /boot/initrd.img-4.9.0-rc3.0.vanilla10-00002-gcfd8c2cee6ac -M virt,gic_version=3 -hdb /dev/sdb -append "root=/dev/vda3" Thanks, -Robert
