Hello! I'm regularly building debian-installer packages for Debian's unofficial ports which includes sh4 among others. The kernel package and therefore the installer package contains a kernel for the SH7751R machine which is emulated by QEMU when choosing the "r2d" type.
Unfortunately, I have not yet been able to boot a current kernel on qemu-system-sh4, the screen remains blank and there are no error messages. Booting an older 2.6 kernel works just fine. I'm using qemu-system-sh4 as follows: $ qemu-system-sh4 -M r2d -kernel vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-sh7751r -initrd initrd.gz -hda debian.img \ -append "root=/dev/sda1 console=tty0 noiotrap" The old 2.6 kernel from [1] boots fine while the current 5.14.x kernel from [2] does not produce any output. Can anyone enlighten me what I might be missing? Thanks, Adrian PS: Please CC me as I am subscribed without getting messages. > [1] https://people.debian.org/~aurel32/qemu/sh4/ > [2] https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/ports/current-debian-installer/sh4/ -- .''`.
