Running qemu-system-aarch64 on x86_64 system?

[grapefruithoarder2000]

Hello. So i have been playing around with quite a lot of different virtual machines, configurations, operating systems etc..
I wanted to try emulating some other architecture with qemu and had quite the problems trying to get it to work.

Currently i am trying to install debian for my virtual machine but i really don't get what i'm doing wrong. Whenever i run the command where i install to the debian.img then qemu just seems to start in some weird monitor mode? Its some kind of command line for qemu but i dont really know why that is starting up.

The result that i expect to happen is that it boots my debian.iso

But actually it just starts in this command line Qemu monitor mode...

This is the command i use:

Code: Select all

qemu-system-aarch64 -machine virt -cdrom debian.iso -boot d -hda debian.img -m 16000

Need some directions

Hi there,

This is a command for a different system so modify it. Set up the image with qemu-nbd, Arch Linux has information about that. Include authorized_keys for ssh access. The base I used was from an already installed .zip file, Devuan trial arm images.

Code: Select all

qemu-system-arm -M virt -serial stdio -display none \
 -rtc base=utc -m 2048 -smp 2 \
 -drive if=none,file=disk-armhf.img,format=qcow2,id=hd \
 -device virtio-blk-device,drive=hd \
 -netdev user,id=inet,hostfwd=tcp:127.0.0.1:3124-:22 \
 -device virtio-net-device,netdev=inet \
 -kernel kv -initrd ki -append 'root=/dev/vda1 ro'

Also you may want console login, if so branch from rc.local for a root shell:

Code: Select all

bash -i >/dev/console </dev/console &
