I can confirm that I can reproduce this bug with qemu-kvm-extras 0.12.3+noroms-0ubuntu9 and 0.12.5+noroms-0ubuntu7 but that it is not present in qemu-linaro 2011.02. I used the zImage from http://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/arm/fedora/qemu/zImage-versatile-2.6.22 for testing.
The cause of this bug is the Debian specific patch which shipped in the qemu-kvm source package: debian/patches/larger_default_ram_size.patch which sets the default RAM size to 384MB. This interacts badly with a bug in the versatilepb model (still present) where it just crashes if you ask it to model more RAM than the maximum theoretical limit for that model (256MB) rather than giving an error message. That Debian patch doesn't ship with the qemu-linaro package as far as I'm aware. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/584480 Title: qemu-system-arm segfaults emulating versatile machine -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
