[Qemu-devel] Question about io mode & cache mode

[morgenlette madeBy]

Hello.

I sent mail for question about io mode and cache mode.

When I set VM to I/O mode = native and cache mode = none,

Vm cannot boot and vm is turn off automatically.

Why cannot VM boot?

Failing syscalls can be debugged using kernel function graph tracing:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/trace/ftrace.txt

It shows you the code path executed by the kernel.  You can
cross-reference the kernel source to see why an error return path is
being taken.

There are other approaches, like adding printks to the kernel.

Before you embark on any of this, it might be a good idea to write a
tiny test program that opens the file exactly the same way you are
doing it in QEMU.  See if it fails in the same way.

You didn't provide enough information to give an answer.

What is your QEMU command-line?

What do you mean by "vm is turn off automatically"?
