Greetings,
I'm trying to bring up a alpine rpi aarch64 image within kvm but I'm ended up with a stuck system, here is the xml: [...] generated using this cmd: virt-install --cpu cortex-a53 --name alpine_rpi4_dev_machine --cdrom ./alpine-virt-3.11.2-aarch64.iso --disk path=alpine-rpi4.qcow2,size=8 --vcpus 4 --memory 2048 --os-type linux --arch aarch64
I've tried adding a vnc server and vga device but the screen stays black, qxl doesn't work. I'm using ubuntu 16.04 with libvirt 1.3.1, if this is a version issue, I can upgrade to latest version. what I'm I missing?
Your version of libvirt (as well as QEMU and virt-manager, I assume) is fairly old, and aarch64 support specifically has seen quite a few improvements in the meantime. On my Fedora 31 laptop, which has
qemu-system-aarch64-4.2.0-2.fc31.x86_64 libvirt-5.10.0-2.fc31.x86_64 virt-manager-2.2.1-2.fc31.noarch
I can run the above and, after some time, get a login prompt on the serial console.
I see, I'll try to bump the versions, can you share you're vm's xml file? Thanks, Dagg
