[libvirt-users] aarch64 vm doesn't boots
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: <domain type='qemu'> <name>alpine_rpi4_dev_machine</name> <uuid>b1b155fc-cb92-4f22-8904-c934dd24415b</uuid> <memory unit='KiB'>4194304</memory> <currentMemory unit='KiB'>4194304</currentMemory> <vcpu placement='static'>4</vcpu> <os> <type arch='aarch64' machine='virt'>hvm</type> </os> <features> <gic version='2'/> </features> <cpu mode='custom' match='exact'> <model fallback='allow'>cortex-a53</model> </cpu> <clock offset='utc'/> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> <on_crash>restart</on_crash> <devices> <emulator>/usr/bin/qemu-system-aarch64</emulator> <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='qcow2'/> <source file='/home/dagg/alpine-rpi4.qcow2'/> <target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/> <boot order='2'/> <address type='virtio-mmio'/> </disk> <disk type='file' device='cdrom'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/> <source file='/home/dagg/alpine-virt-3.11.2-aarch64.iso'/> <target dev='sdb' bus='scsi'/> <readonly/> <boot order='1'/> <address type='drive' controller='0' bus='0' target='0' unit='1'/> </disk> <controller type='scsi' index='0' model='virtio-scsi'> <address type='virtio-mmio'/> </controller> <controller type='pci' index='0' model='pcie-root'/> <controller type='pci' index='1' model='dmi-to-pci-bridge'> <model name='i82801b11-bridge'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x01' function='0x0'/> </controller> <controller type='pci' index='2' model='pci-bridge'> <model name='pci-bridge'/> <target chassisNr='2'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x01' slot='0x01' function='0x0'/> </controller> <controller type='virtio-serial' index='0'> <address type='virtio-mmio'/> </controller> <interface type='network'> <mac address='52:54:00:e0:7a:7b'/> <source network='default'/> <model type='virtio'/> <address type='virtio-mmio'/> </interface> <serial type='pty'> <target port='0'/> </serial> <console type='pty'> <target type='serial' port='0'/> </console> <console type='pty'> <target type='virtio' port='1'/> </console> </devices> </domain> 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? Thanks, Dagg.

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. -- Andrea Bolognani / Red Hat / Virtualization

I see, I'll try to bump the versions, can you share you're vm's xml file? Thanks, Dagg

This is the exact virt-install command I used: $ virt-install \ --cpu cortex-a53 \ --name alpine-aarch64 \ --cdrom ~/Downloads/alpine-virt-3.11.2-aarch64.iso \ --disk size=8 \ --vcpus 4 \ --memory 2048 \ --os-variant alpinelinux3.8 \ --arch aarch64 \ --boot loader=/usr/share/edk2/aarch64/QEMU_EFI-pflash.raw,loader.readonly=yes,loader.type=pflash,nvram.template=/usr/share/edk2/aarch64/vars-template-pflash.raw,loader_secure=no The '--boot ...' part is only necessary because of an issue in current libvirt that's already being worked on.
