I am working on making VFIO working on PowerPC Booke, So I have cloned Alex Williamsons git repository, compiled kernel for x86 on fedora with virtualization configuration (selected all kernel config options for same). Run below command to boot Guest (I have not provided vfio device yet): "qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 1024 -nographic -kernel arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage -initrd /boot/initramfs-3.5.0-rc4+.img -serial tcp::4444,server,telnet" After the I can see qemu command line (able to run various commands like "info registers" etc), while guest does not boot (not even the first print comes). Can anyone help in what I am missing or doing wrong? Thanks -Bharat ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 14+ messages in thread

Typically you'll want to provide a disk image (the -hda option is the easiest way to do this), a display (-vga std -vnc :0 is again easiest), and probably something to install from (-cdrom <image.iso>). You can also add a -boot d to get it to choose the cdrom the first time for install. Thanks, Alex ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 14+ messages in thread

No, what I'm suggesting is to get an ISO image of the distribution you want to run on the guest and use the -cdrom <iso image> -boot d options to boot the VM from the ISO and install onto your disk image. If you want to make the process even easier, use something like virt-manager to install the guest, then use the disk image directly with qemu if you want.
