Hi Avi/All, I am facing issue to boot KVM guest on x86 (I used to work on PowerPC platform and do not have enough knowledge of x86). I am working on making VFIO working on PowerPC Booke, So I have cloned Alex Williamsons git repository, compiled kernel for x86 on fedora with virtualization configuration (selected all kernel config options for same). Run below command to boot Guest (I have not provided vfio device yet):
"qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 1024 -nographic -kernel arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage -initrd /boot/initramfs-3.5.0-rc4+.img -serial tcp::4444,server,telnet" After the I can see qemu command line (able to run various commands like "info registers" etc), while guest does not boot (not even the first print comes). Can anyone help in what I am missing or doing wrong? Thanks -Bharat
