I found this: https://qemu-project.gitlab.io/qemu/system/linuxboot.html and this: https://nickdesaulniers.github.io/blog/2018/10/24/booting-a-custom-linux-kernel-in-qemu-and-debugging-it-with-gdb/
So I now have serial output. But I still need to know how to put a binary in the image so I can run it. I made it a few steps further: ./qemu//bin/debug/native/qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 2048 -display vnc=:89 \ -netdev user,id=t0, -device rtl8139,netdev=t0,id=nic0 \ -netdev user,id=t1, -device pcnet,netdev=t1,id=nic1 \ -L ./qemu/pc-bios \ -nographic \ -append "console=ttyS0 nokaslr" \ -initrd ramdisk.img \ -boot c -kernel $HOME/workspace/kvmctf-6.1.74/bzImage/bzImage On Sat, Sep 7, 2024 at 2:58 PM Kenneth Adam Miller < kennethadammil...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello, > > I've got qemu built and now I need to figure out how to run it with what > I've got.
