Hello, apologies if this isn't the right venue; this is a beginner's question (just for play/learning).
On native x86 machines, I can build the Linux kernel, take the `bzImage` output file, and plug it straight into QEMU with `qemu-system-x86_64 -kernel path/to/bzImage`. The readout will be a kernel panic complaining about no initrd. I would like to get to the same stage on a native arm64 machine. I believe I want to use `-M virt`, and I'm not sure of any further settings that need to be passed in. As far as I can tell, the Linux kernel detects the arm64 environment and builds successfully. My naive guess is that the output file `Image.gz` is analogous to x86's `bzImage`. However, running `qemu-system-aarch64 -M virt -kernel path/to/Image.gz` just opens the QEMU monitor (the same result as running `qemu-system-aarch64 -M virt` alone) with no further output (e.g., no kernel panic). Unpacking the gz file to `Image` doesn't work either. What am I missing?
