Package: src:linux Version: 5.9.15-1 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: rincebr...@gmail.com
Dear Maintainer, On a lark, I decided to try and get a sh4 boot environment running. So I tried downloading the oldest (2019-11-21, with vmlinuz-4.19.0-5-sh7751r) and newest (2021-04-17, with vmlinuz-5.9.0-5-sh7751r) debian-installer tarballs, and they both did the same thing in qemu - no serial output, no graphical output. So I found https://people.debian.org/~aurel32/qemu/sh4/, and tried booting that kernel and initrd with my qemu command, and that worked fine. So next I tried a debootstrap --arch=sh4 sh4_chroot, chrooted in, installed the kernel (linux-image-5.9.0-5-sh7751r), generated an initrd, partitioned the disk image file I made before, mkfs.ext4, rsync -avx everything over, try booting with the kernel+initrd from the chroot...same result. The qemu line I used is: qemu-system-sh4 -M r2d -serial null -serial mon:stdio -m 1024 -usb -usbdevice keyboard -kernel sh4_chroot/boot/vmlinuz-5.9.0-5-sh7751r -initrd sh4_chroot/boot/initrd.img-5.9.0-5-sh7751r -drive file=sh4_disk,format=raw -append "root=/dev/sda1 console=tty0 noiotrap" -vnc :30 The qemu version is 5.2+dfsg-9~bpo10+1. It's certainly possible that I could be holding it wrong, and something has changed between 2.6.32 and 4.19.0 that means I need a different command line, but I'm kind of surprised if the same command doesn't at least produce _some_ output, and unsurprisingly it's quite difficult to find documentation on how to do this properly. - Rich -- Package-specific info: ** Kernel log: boot messages should be attached -- System Information: Debian Release: 11.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: sh4 Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-16-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU threads) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=/usr/bin/locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory /usr/bin/locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: unable to detect Versions of packages linux-image-5.9.0-5-sh7751r depends on: ii initramfs-tools [linux-initramfs-tool] 0.140 ii kmod 28-1 ii linux-base 4.6 Versions of packages linux-image-5.9.0-5-sh7751r recommends: ii apparmor 2.13.6-10 ii firmware-linux-free 20200122-1 Versions of packages linux-image-5.9.0-5-sh7751r suggests: pn debian-kernel-handbook <none> pn linux-doc-5.9 <none> Versions of packages linux-image-5.9.0-5-sh7751r is related to: pn firmware-amd-graphics <none> pn firmware-atheros <none> pn firmware-bnx2 <none> pn firmware-bnx2x <none> pn firmware-brcm80211 <none> pn firmware-cavium <none> pn firmware-intel-sound <none> pn firmware-intelwimax <none> pn firmware-ipw2x00 <none> pn firmware-ivtv <none> pn firmware-iwlwifi <none> pn firmware-libertas <none> pn firmware-linux-nonfree <none> pn firmware-misc-nonfree <none> pn firmware-myricom <none> pn firmware-netxen <none> pn firmware-qlogic <none> pn firmware-realtek <none> pn firmware-samsung <none> pn firmware-siano <none> pn firmware-ti-connectivity <none> pn xen-hypervisor <none>
