If you're at Lucid or Maverick, you can also create the rootfs img by running the attached rootstock script.
Please install all rootstock dependencies by installing the official version provided by the distro: sudo apt-get install rootstock Using the attached script: sudo bash ./rootstock --fqdn beagleboard --login ubuntu --password temppwd --imagesize 512M --seed ubuntu-minimal --dist lucid --serial ttyS2 --components "main universe multiverse" You'll get the rootfs img and the command that rootstock would call, that gives the seg fault, e.g: qemu-system-arm -M versatilepb -cpu cortex-a8 -kernel /tmp/tmp.OxxUOBq4B0/qemu-vmlinuz -no-reboot -nographic -pidfile /tmp/tmp.OxxUOBq4B0/qemu.pid -drive file=/tmp/tmp.OxxUOBq4B0/qemu-armel-201007122016.img,aio=native,cache=none -m 256 -append 'console=ttyAMA0,115200n8 root=/dev/sda rw mem=256M devtmpfs.mount=0 init=/bin/installer quiet' ** Attachment added: "Modified rootstock" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/51835052/rootstock -- qemu-system-arm segfaults emulating versatile machine after running debootstrap --second-stage inside vm https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/604872 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to qemu-kvm in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
