Hello, Please don't use the RISC-V Getting Started Guide. Pretty much all of the information there is out of date and wrong. Unfortunately we are unable to correct it. The QEMU wiki is a much better place for information: https://wiki.qemu.org/Documentation/Platforms/RISCV > > sudo qemu-system-riscv64 -nographic -machine virt \ > -kernel linux/arch/riscv/boot/Image -append "root=/dev/vda ro console=ttyS0" \ > -drive file=busybox,format=raw,id=hd0 \ > -device virtio-blk-device,drive=hd0 > > But what I get in return is a message telling me that the file I gave wasn't > the right one, the actual output is: > > qemu-system-riscv64: -drive file=busybox,format=raw,id=hd0: A regular file > was expected by the 'file' driver, but something else was given > > And I checked the file busybox with de cmd "file" and got the following : > busybox: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, UCB RISC-V, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically > linked, interpreter /lib/ld-linux-riscv64-lp64d.so.1, for GNU/Linux 4.15.0, > stripped That looks like an ELF, which won't work when attached as a drive.
