It is reproducible for me as follows: tip of qemu-linaro as of today (c67ccff50fd53723302c47a233f3daec2807cf0d) built with: ./configure --target-list=arm-softmmu --enable-debug --static make -j2
This starts: arm-softmmu/qemu-system-arm -M vexpress-a9 -kernel vmlinuz-2.6.37-1003-linaro-vexpress -append 'console=ttyAMA0,115200' -serial stdio This doesn't and eats all CPU: arm-softmmu/qemu-system-arm -M vexpress-a9 -kernel vmlinux -append 'console=ttyAMA0,115200' -serial stdio vmlinuz-2.6.37-1003-linaro-vexpress is from the linaro-vexpress binary .deb from some time ago, but it boots fine so shouldn't matter. vmlinux is generated with a script I had written and tested a while ago: http://people.canonical.com/~lool/vmlinuz-to-vmlinux this script takes a vmlinuz as input, and outputs a vmlinux on stdout; it is possible that the structure of the ARM uncompressor evolved since I wrote this, and this simple implementation might be incorrect nowadays. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/534324 Title: Can't run uncompressed (vmlinux) kernels -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
