What's your QEMU version (qemu-arm-static)? Old versions of QEMU have
bugs and limitations in their emulation of ARM instructions which might
cause weird failures such as segfaults when installing the hwpack.
We recommend using the latest version of Linaro QEMU, which should be
available for Ubuntu at:
https://launchpad.net/~linaro-maintainers/+archive/tools
Using a very recent upstream QEMU version would also help emulation.
If that doesn't help, please report a bug or ask for input on a
technical forum, such as linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org or IRC etc.
Ideally, we would detect broken QEMU versions when running
linaro-media-create, but it's non-trivial and a low priority feature,
so it didn't get implemented so far.
Thanks!
