I tried the above but using the latest Raspbian Stretch Lite image instead of Arch: the guest comes up with no issues and offers serial console access, so that part works nicely. However, I notice that you are using '--network none' and so of course there is no network connectivity inside the guest. My own attempts at fixing this were unsuccessful, in that I can get a PCI device such as rtl8139 or even virtio-net-pci to be detected by the guest, but the corresponding drivers are not included in the kernel downloaded from the GitHub repository linked above; the versatilepb board's own integrated network device (smc91c111), on the other hand, seems not to support instantiation via -device and is thus not usable without adding hacks to libvirt. Did you manage to get network functionality working some other way? Since you already need a custom kernel to boot the image with QEMU, and you also use an approximation of the actual hardware rather than a faithful reproduction, I think it would make sense to go one step further and include VirtIO drivers in the kernel image. -- Andrea Bolognani / Red Hat / Virtualization -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
