Hi Tom, Normally, I think V8 fastmodels use uefi bootloader and that one by default is configured to pickup 'Image' file from SemihostFs (which has VenHw(C5B9C74A-6D72-4719-99AB-C59F199091EB). I.e you need to place 'Image' file into current directory of your host from which you are running fastmodel. And generally you don't really need to have kernel inside of FS, just add copy of /lib/modules directory.
Here is setup that works for me. Note directory contains minimal set of files required to run it from virtio blocked file: [kamensky@kamensky-w530 myle]$ ls bl1.bin BL31_AP_Trusted_RAM.bin Image run_n.sh BL2_AP_Trusted_RAM.bin fvp-base-gicv2-psci.dtb linaro-image-minimal.img uefi_fvp-base.bin [kamensky@kamensky-w530 myle]$ cat run_n.sh #!/bin/sh set -x ARMLMD_LICENSE_FILE=8224@127.0.0.1 export ARMLMD_LICENSE_FILE #IMAGE=linaro-image-lng.img IMAGE=linaro-image-minimal.img /wd/fastmodels/FVP_Base_AEMv8A-AEMv8A/models/Linux64_GCC-4.1/FVP_Base_AEMv8A-AEMv8A \ -C pctl.startup=0.0.0.0 \ -C bp.secure_memory=0 \ -C cluster0.NUM_CORES=4 \ -C cluster1.NUM_CORES=4 \ -C cache_state_modelled=1 \ -C bp.pl011_uart0.untimed_fifos=1 \ -C bp.secureflashloader.fname=bl1.bin \ -C bp.flashloader0.fname=uefi_fvp-base.bin \ -C bp.virtioblockdevice.image_path=$IMAGE \ -C bp.hostbridge.interfaceName=ARM$USER \ -C bp.smsc_91c111.enabled=true \ -C bp.smsc_91c111.mac_address=00:11:22:33:44:55 If it does not help maybe you could share your FVP invocation line.
