Hi, (and sorry for CC-ing you directly, Gunnar: feel free to just ignore should you be overwhelmed/not interested/whatever) and I'll stop bothering you :)
One of us (ratten) has made some progress and has an incantation which shows some kernel messages and ends up in a kernel panic. Progress :-) I'll repeat the basic coordinates here, then show the kernel logs around the panic and then put some questions :-) - the image is from https://raspi.debian.net/tested/20231109_raspi_4_bookworm.img.xz - qemu is qemu-system 1:10.0.2+ds-2+deb13u1~bpo12+1 from bookworm backports (me) or standard Trixie 1:10.0.6+ds-0+deb13u2 (ratten). - we try to boot the thing with kernel, initrd and device tree "outside" of the image (in my first question some folks in debian-user@ hinted at errors I made here, thanks for that!) So here is the incantation (sorry for the long lines): qemu-system-aarch64 -display none -machine raspi4b -cpu cortex-a72 -m 2G -smp 4 \ -serial stdio -kernel vmlinuz-6.1.0-13-arm64 -dtb bcm2711-rpi-4-b.dtb \ -drive "file=20231109_raspi_4_bookworm.img,format=raw,index=0,media=disk" \ -initrd initrd.img-6.1.0-13-arm64 \ -append "earlycon=pl011,mmio32,0xfe201000 rw earlyprintk loglevel=8 console=ttyAMA0,115200 dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 rootdelay=1" Of course I extracted first the kernel, initrd and devtree to the current dir. This is (an extract of) what happens: [ 4.138013] Freeing initrd memory: 30236K [ 4.439597] alg: self-tests for CTR-KDF (hmac(sha256)) passed [ 4.440807] Block layer SCSI generic (bsg) driver version 0.4 loaded (major 247) [ 4.446983] io scheduler mq-deadline registered [ 4.465574] Internal error: synchronous external abort: 0000000096000050 [#1] SMP [ 4.466456] Modules linked in: [ 4.467202] CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 6.1.0-13-arm64 #1 Debian 6.1.55-1 [ 4.468189] Hardware name: Raspberry Pi 4 Model B (DT) [ 4.469783] pstate: 60000005 (nZCv daif -PAN -UAO -TCO -DIT -SSBS BTYPE=--) [ 4.470955] pc : brcmstb_l2_intc_of_init.constprop.0+0x7c/0x294 [ 4.471898] lr : brcmstb_l2_intc_of_init.constprop.0+0x50/0x294 [ 4.472843] sp : ffff800009fdbaf0 [ 4.473594] x29: ffff800009fdbaf0 x28: 0000000000000000 x27: ffff8000096200f0 [ 4.474543] x26: ffff800009706060 x25: 0000000000000006 x24: ffff0000037c2c68 [ 4.475795] x23: ffff800009fe5100 x22: 00000000ffffffff x21: ffff000037e15068 [ 4.476866] x20: ffff800008d8af78 x19: ffff000002d2a880 x18: ffffffffffffffff [ 4.478499] x17: 0000000071e07e92 x16: 00000000cf9e4ac0 x15: 0140000000000000 [ 4.479788] x14: ffffffffffffffff x13: 0040000000000001 x12: 00008000f4f1b000 [ 4.480586] x11: ffff80000a1e5000 x10: ffff800009fe5fff x9 : 000000000000003f [ 4.482429] x8 : 00000000fef00000 x7 : ffff800009fe6000 x6 : 0400000000000001 [ 4.483121] x5 : ffff800009fe6000 x4 : ffff800009fe5fff x3 : 0000000000000000 [ 4.484110] x2 : 0000000000000000 x1 : ffff0000025c0000 x0 : ffff800009fe5110 [ 4.485232] Call trace: [ 4.487415] brcmstb_l2_intc_of_init.constprop.0+0x7c/0x294 [ 4.488775] brcmstb_l2_edge_intc_of_init+0x20/0x2c [ 4.490352] platform_irqchip_probe+0x6c/0xe0 [ 4.491156] platform_probe+0x70/0xcc [ 4.491897] really_probe+0xc8/0x3e0 [ 4.492342] __driver_probe_device+0x84/0x160 [ 4.492866] driver_probe_device+0x44/0x120 [ 4.493740] __driver_attach+0xfc/0x204 [ 4.494235] bus_for_each_dev+0x7c/0xdc [ 4.494977] driver_attach+0x2c/0x40 [ 4.495619] bus_add_driver+0x184/0x240 [ 4.496448] driver_register+0x80/0x13c [ 4.497020] __platform_driver_register+0x30/0x3c [ 4.498770] brcmstb_l2_driver_init+0x24/0x30 [ 4.499716] do_one_initcall+0x60/0x260 [ 4.500360] kernel_init_freeable+0x2a0/0x310 [ 4.501138] kernel_init+0x2c/0x140 [ 4.502006] ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20 [ 4.502887] Code: b9801680 8b0002e0 d50332bf 12800016 (b9000016) [ 4.508422] ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- [ 4.511599] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x0000000b [ 4.512605] SMP: stopping secondary CPUs [ 4.518113] Kernel Offset: disabled [ 4.518959] CPU features: 0x40000,2003c080,0000421b [ 4.531559] Memory Limit: none [ 4.532320] ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x0000000b ]--- Now my questions: - Do I have to extract the kernel, etc. from the image? IOW: is Qemu's platform emulation (not yet?) up to the task of doing the boot thing? (This one is probably more for the qemu folks (don't get me wrong: I'm not complaining, just trying to find out whether it makes sense for me to give it a try) - How do I go about finding such magic incantations for Qemu (short of trying out every second recipe on the Internet)? - Is this interesting for Debian? How else can we support the "Debian images for Raspi" effort? (This one is probably for you, Gunnar) - Any useful tips to debug the above kernel failure? (I'm already trying to poke at it, but any hint has the potential to speed things up significantly ;-) Thanks for help (or kind words :) Please, keep ratten@ in CC, since not subscribed to the lists.
