Package: debian-installer
Version: 10.10.0-arm64-netinst
Dear Maintainers,
The "debian-10.10.0-arm64-netinst.iso" fails to boot on QEMU "virt"
machine - it only produces this output:
Synchronous Exception at 0x0000000078465288
Other netinst ISO files seem not to have this problem - I tested:
debian-10.9.0-arm64-netinst.iso WORKS OK
debian-testing-arm64-netinst.iso WORKS OK
debian-10.9.0-amd64-netinst.iso WORKS OK
debian-10.10.0-amd64-netinst.iso WORKS OK
USED QEMU COMMANDS (All options should be on single line; SCSI seems
necessary for Debian installer to detect CD-ROM properly on ARM64):
qemu-system-aarch64
-nographic -machine type=virt
-bios /usr/share/qemu-efi-aarch64/QEMU_EFI.fd
-netdev user,id=vnet,ipv4=on,ipv6=off,hostfwd=tcp::60010-:60000
-device e1000,romfile=,mac=52:54:00:12:34:56,netdev=vnet
-cpu max -smp cores=1 -m 1024
-device virtio-scsi-pci
-blockdev driver=raw,node-name=hd,file.driver=file,file.filename=HD.img
-device scsi-hd,drive=hd

QEMU PACKAGES VERSIONS (all from Debian stable 10.10):
qemu-system-arm 3.1+dfsg-8+deb10u8
qemu-system-gui 3.1+dfsg-8+deb10u8
qemu-system-x86 3.1+dfsg-8+deb10u8
qemu-utils 3.1+dfsg-8+deb10u8
Also I am unable to get the Debian installer for ARM64 working on QEMU
with graphical display (GTK window). Replacing "-nographic" option with:
-display gtk,gl=on,grab-on-hover=on,zoom-to-fit=on -full-screen -no-quit
produces a QEMU GTK display window which unfortunately does not react to
any keyboard input. The Debian installer for AMD64 seems not to work
with "-nographic" option for a change and works with QEMU GTK display
window:).
Best Regards
