I just did: git clone git://git.qemu-project.org/qemu.git cd qemu git submodule init git submodule update and that worked for me. (We do occasionally accidentally introduce an error where we update the submodule but the qemu-project.org mirror of a git repo hasn't yet moved forward to include the reference. But it seems to all be OK at the moment.) As an aside you typically don't need all the submodules if you're just interested in building QEMU. (You might need the dtc module but configure will tell you if you do and also what command to ues to just get the dtc submodule and not anything else.) thanks -- PMM
