Hi, I am trying to get qemu-system-aarch64 going, In particular I am interested in running graphical installer, or live debian or ubuntu environments.
I tried the daily netinst for arm64, and it claims there is no graphics, and fallbacks to only use serial console. (which has issues on its own using -display gtk (default), but can be resolved by using remote-viewer or virt-manager, which uses spice, and then it works). https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/arm64/iso-cd/debian-testing-arm64-netinst.iso https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/20.10/release/ubuntu-20.10-live-server-arm64.iso But, if I use something like: qemu-system-aarch64 -cdrom debian-testing-arm64-netinst.iso -m 8192 -M virt,acpi=on -cpu max -smp 2 -device qemu-xhci,id=usb -usb -device usb-kbd -device usb-tablet -device virtio-gpu-pci -display default,show-cursor=on -drive if=virtio,format=raw,readonly=on,media=cdrom,file=debian-testing-arm64-netinst.iso -drive file=flash0.img,format=raw,if=pflash -drive file=flash1.img,format=raw,if=pflash -device ramfb (I also tried with other configuration, including -bios /usr/share/qemu-efi-aarch64/QEMU_EFI.fd , and -device VGA, omitting -device ramfb, etc). And even select the graphical installer in the GRUB, it still doesn't show anything intersting on graphical side. Here is a bit of dump from serial console when trying graphical installer in expert mode: BdsDxe: failed to load Boot0001 "UEFI Misc Device" from VenHw(93E34C7E-B50E-11DF-9223-2443DFD72085,00): Not Found BdsDxe: loading Boot0002 "UEFI Misc Device 2" from PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x4,0x0) BdsDxe: starting Boot0002 "UEFI Misc Device 2" from PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x4,0x0) Welcome to GRUB!
