Hi, all,
I've been loosely following the instruct at this page,
https://github.com/kholia/mips-hacking
My host is ubuntu 16.04. I used ubuntu prebuilt qemu system images.
My guest is the latest stretch 9.5 malta netboot images. Kernel is
vmlinux-4.9.0-7-4kc-malta.
Below is my startup script. If I change "smp" to 2, the startup will hang
very early on. Does anybody if this is a known limit with debian distro?
Or it is an issue with the ubuntu prebuilt qemu? Or there are some other
gotcha's here?
qemu-system-mips \
-M malta \
-m 256 \
-hda hda.qcow2 \
-kernel vmlinux-4.9.0-7-4kc-malta \
-initrd initrd.img-4.9.0-7-4kc-malta \
-append "root=/dev/sda1 console=ttyS0 nokaslr" \
-nographic \
-redir tcp:2222::22 \
-smp 1 \
\
Cheers.
