You appear to be trying to run a kernel for an Integrator board on a versatilepb model. This won't work -- you must run a kernel configured for the board model you're using. You're also trying to send the guest's serial output to the host serial port. Are you sure you want to do that? Sending it to stdout or to a TCP port is more usual. > QEMU window opens up, but I am getting this error "Guest has not initialized > the display yet" > I had enabled -sdl option while configuring qemu, but I am still getting > that error. This isn't an error. It is just QEMU telling you that the guest OS has not yet done what it needs to do to turn on the emulated graphics card and display output. In this case the likely reason for this is that you've tried to run a kernel that won't work on this board model, and so it has crashed before it got anywhere. You can also see this message if the kernel has no graphics support built in and is just doing output to serial console. -- PMM
