We have been using LAVA to test our Yocto based product for about 1 1/2years now using the produced .ext[34] and bzImage produced from a typical Yocto build. We have been using LAVA 1 however and I am only now starting to move to the latest LAVA 2. We have also been using hardware targets and not qemu but that is overall inconsequential. Since our move to LAVA 2 is in progress I can't currently give you a step by step guide to accomplishing this. Let me look quickly today to see if the existing definition of the qemu device type will allow for specifying a disk image and kernel. If not then it either needs to be added or a new device type created with allows it. On the bright side the LAVA folks have done a good job about the layout of their code so jumping in to do this may seem to be a big hurdle but once you jump in you will find most things where you would expect them to be. Alternatively you could use either a chroot or VM to update the .ext4 image with a kernel and grub. Anyways, sorry for sparse information. Again if you give me some time I can provide you with more details. But definitely go ahead and dig in, you will find that what you want to do is possible.
