Downloaded the intrid and kernel from here - ftp://ftp.au.debian.org/debian/dists/squeeze/main/installer-armel/current/images/versatile/netboot/
And ran: *qemu-img create -f qcow arm.img 5G* Then running *qemu-system-arm -M versatilepb -kernel vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-versatile -initrd initrd.gz -hda arm.img -append "root=/dev/ram" * Gives me a segfault with no window. Host system is an Ubuntu 10.04 base. Any ideas? 2011/6/14 Rudy Godoy Guillén <[email protected]> > Hello, > > On Mon, Jun 13, 2011 at 10:30 PM, Jeff Hoogland <[email protected]>wrote: > >> Howdy All, >> >> I was wondering what is the best way to set up for building ARMEL >> packages?
