RE: How should I give the command to install ubuntu on aarch64 virt machine? (error in arm_gicv3_cpuif.c during boot)

[ckim]

Sorry, there may be something wrong in the additions I made to qemu-5.1.0 code (I added a peripheral).

(this us while trying  https://futurewei-cloud.github.io/ARM-Datacenter/qemu/how-to-launch-aarch64-vm/ )

 

So I tried now with original qemu-5.2.0 version. (arm virt machine)

After I selected “Install Ubuntu” in the grub2 menu, (and I removed ‘quiet’ option)

I see the boot message scroll up, and it gets stuck.

This is the script I used.

wget http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/20.04/release/ubuntu-20.04.2-live-server-arm64.iso

 

qemu-img create ubuntu-image.img 20G

Can anyone tell me what I can do here? Could be a network problem?

 

Thanks!

I tried this page : https://futurewei-cloud.github.io/ARM-Datacenter/qemu/how-to-launch-aarch64-vm/

(last time my OS version was low so couldn’t try).

To my delight, It gives me grub2 menu and after a short while, it gives me this error message.

 

ERROR:/home/ckim/prj1/QEMU/qemu-5.1.0/hw/intc/arm_gicv3_cpuif.c:1375:icc_eoir_write: code should not be reached

Bail out! ERROR:/home/ckim/prj1/QEMU/qemu-5.1.0/hw/intc/arm_gicv3_cpuif.c:1375:icc_eoir_write: code should not be reached

Aborted (core dumped)

 

I tried with both with the recent patch to hw/intc/arm_gicv3_cpuif.c and without.

Don’t the developers need have a look into this case?

Subject: How should I give the command to install ubuntu on aarch64 virt machine?

 

Hello all,

 

To install ubuntu 20.04 on aarch64 virt machine, I tried this but it’s stuck.

 

I made the disk image using :

qemu-img create -f qcow2 ubuntu-20.04.2-live-server-arm64.img.qcow2.

 

And then did :

qemu-system-aarch64 \

    -M virt -cpu cortex-a72 \

    -cdrom ubuntu-20.04.2-live-server-arm64.iso \

    -drive "file=ubuntu-20.04.2-live-server-arm64.img.qcow2,format=qcow2" \

    -m 2G \

    -smp 2 \

;

 

Can anyone tell me what command option I should add or fix?

And because I can’t debug see the kernel program (because it’s .iso file) it’s very difficult to debug.

 

Thank you!
