I managed to capture a little more info about this bug by passing -drive file='myharddrive.img'. The kernel panic is happening in the sym53c8xx driver. See the attached screenshot for detail.
I can also attach the kernel that I'm using if needed. Just let me know. ** Attachment added: "Kernel panic in sym53c8xx" https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1094564/+attachment/3674650/+files/Screen%20Shot%202013-05-12%20at%2011.09.49%20AM.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1094564 Title: images used as scsi disks not readable (qemu-system-arm, macos 10.8) Status in The MacPorts Project: New Status in QEMU: New Bug description: Using a arm1176 kernel and the raspbian image (10-28 or 12-16) as my disk, I get as far as mounting root and then get SCSI errors with 1.3.0 and the current origin/master. git bisect says the issue is commit f563a5d7a820424756f358e747238f03e866838a Merge: a273652 aee0bf7 Author: Paolo Bonzini <pbonz...@redhat.com> Date: Wed Oct 31 10:42:51 2012 +0100 Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/master' into threadpool Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonz...@redhat.com> I am using: qemu-system-arm -no-reboot -M versatilepb -cpu arm1176 -m 256 -hda 2012-12-16-wheezy-raspbian.img -kernel kernel-qemu -append "root=/dev/sda2 rootfstype=ext4 elevator=deadline rootwait panic=1" -serial stdio -usbdevice tablet -net nic -net user,hostfwd=tcp::40022-:22 Configured on MacOS 10.8.2 with current Xcode and MacPorts installed, thus: CPATH=/opt/local/include CFLAGS="-pipe -O2 -arch x86_64" CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/local/include" CXXFLAGS="-pipe -O2 -arch x86_64" LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/local/lib" MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET="10.8" CXX="/usr/bin/clang++" LDFLAGS="-L/opt/local/lib -arch x86_64" OBJC=/usr/bin/clang FCFLAGS="-pipe -O2 -m64" INSTALL="/usr/bin/install -c" OBJCFLAGS="-pipe -O2 -arch x86_64" CC="/usr/bin/clang" ./configure --prefix=/opt/local --cpu=x86_64 --cc=/usr/bin/clang --objcc=/usr/bin/clang --host-cc=/usr/bin/clang --python=/opt/local/bin/python2.7 --target-list=arm-softmmu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/macports/+bug/1094564/+subscriptions
