you can try initrd+qemu sd/mmc emulation.


Excellent. Option -sd plus root=/dev/mmcblk0 made it [0].
Now I need to generate a proper sd-card image (partiontable etc.)...

Thanks for the hint!

booting rootfs with linux-image-vexpress in qemu 1.0~ from harddisk image

2012-06-04 Thread Marcus Osdoba

Hello Mailinglist,

I'm not sure, if this is worth a bug report, but recnetly I tried to 
boot a multistrapped wheezy armhf system in qemu from squeeze-backports.


The qemu command line included the -hda option but the vexpress kernel 
wasn't able to find /dev/sda or /dev/hda.


The system dropped to busybox command line and I didn't see an sda or 
hda device when runnign dmesg there.

Best regards,

the vexpress qemu system doesn't support scsi/sata/pata/ afair (unlike
the real one).
