 Posted: Tue Jul 19, 2022 6:43 am Post subject: [solved] risc-v qemu kernel not starting |
 |
|
solved by compiling Virtio block driver (CONFIG_SCSI_VIRTIO) inside kernel, not as module.
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/QEMU/Linux_guest#Kernel
Installing gentoo on a qemu risc-v machine, kernel will not load
just for fun I started to install gentoo on a qemu risc-v machine. so far everything is working really well. basically I used an ubuntu 22.04 Image to startup the machine and then did a stage 3 install following partly the amd64 handbook.
the only package giving me headaches was grub, but with a little tinkering it finally build (and works  )
right now I have a problem to boot using a gentoo kernel.
the vm starts up quite fine using the ubuntu kernel that came with the preinstalled image, i just copied kernel, initramfs and modules to get things startet.
the boot process seems to be the following open spi -> uboot -> grub -> linux kernel. this works fine for the ubuntu kernel. Am I missing something obvious?
I am using qemu 7, the command to start the vm is the following:
| Code: |
qemu-system-riscv64 \
-machine virt \
-m 16G \
-smp 8 \
-kernel ./u-boot-qemu/uboot.elf \
-nographic \
-object rng-random,filename=/dev/urandom,id=rng \
-device virtio-rng-device,rng=rng \
-device virtio-net-device,netdev=eth0 \
-netdev bridge,br=virbr0,id=eth0 \
-drive file=gentoo.qcow2,if=virtio,id=gentoo,index=0
|
then openspi loads, uboot loads and finally grub

Boot Message with gentoo kernel (note: i omitted an initramfs on purpose, gpt, ext4 and so on are compiled in so this should not be needed)

when trying to load the gentoo kernel the part with "EFI stub: Using DTB from configuration table" is faster ... maybe the gentoo kernel does not recognize the devicetree and therefor can not boot?

that did the trick, now the kernel is booting  with 2 things to investigate..
1. it only works when i use an initramfs. i have to look which additional drivers need to be compiled in.
2. the kernel does not write message to the serial console. |
