[Qemu-devel] [Bug 893208] Re: qemu on ARM hosts can't boot i386 image

[PeteVine]

Unfortunately that doesn't seem to work.  Qemu immediately goes into
infinite loop and has to be killed -9.

Building anything besides qemu-system-i386 leads to link errors:

 LINK  x86_64-linux-user/qemu-x86_64
/usr/bin/ld.gold.real: error: ../libqemustub.a(cpu-get-icount.o): multiple 
definition of 'use_icount'
/usr/bin/ld.gold.real: exec.o: previous definition here

Title:
  qemu on ARM hosts can't boot i386 image

Status in QEMU:
  Confirmed
Status in Linaro QEMU:
  New

Bug description:
  If you apply some workarounds for bug 870990, bug 883133 and bug
  883136 QEMU still cannot boot the i386
  debian_squeeze_i386_standard.qcow2 image from
  http://people.debian.org/~aurel32/qemu/i386/ -- grub starts to boot
  but something causes the system to reset just before display of the
  blue-background grub menu, so we go round in a loop forever. This
  image boots OK on i386 hosted qemu so this indicates some kind of ARM-
  host specific bug.
