In-reply-to: 20160129150841.gz25...@csclub.uwaterloo.ca Hello,
thank you, Tixy and Len, for your suggestions, but I cannot get it to work yet. I took vmlinuz and initrd.gz files from here: http://ftp.debian.de/debian/dists/jessie/main/installer-armhf/20150422+deb8u3/images/hd-media/ and file vexpress-v2p-ca15-tc1.dtb from here: http://ftp.debian.de/debian/dists/jessie/main/installer-armhf/20150422+deb8u3/images/device-tree/ My command line looks like this: /usr/bin/qemu-system-arm -monitor stdio -M vexpress-a15 -k de -m 512 -no-acpi -drive file=/localhome/cpleger/armhf/jessie-armhf.img,if=sd -net none -kernel /localhome/cpleger/armhf/vmlinuz -initrd /localhome/cpleger/armhf/initrd.gz -append root=/dev/ram -name "jessie-armhf" -dtb /localhome/cpleger/armhf/vexpress-v2p-ca15-tc1.dtb This, like all attempts before, just results in a blank VM screen. Regards Christoph Pleger
