I am trying to set up an Arch image and use qemu in order to cross-compile some stuff before I load the image onto the Pi. I thought the easiest way to do it would be to qemu t

Answer 1

In case archlinux-hf-2013-07-22.img Here there 3 partion are made. you can check by using

fdisk -l archlinux-hf-2013-07-22.img

rootfs is in sd5 i.e 5th partion.

So pass this parameter "root=/dev/sda5 panic=1" , it will boot perfectly.

Answer 2

In 2013-05-25-wheezy-raspbian.img You can use same kernel for both image.

Here you have to comment ld.so.preload which will load some shared-library,which will unable login. so kernel panic.

Note:-"root=/dev/sda2 panic=1" pass this parameter only.

You can comment it by doing below.

sudo kpartx -av 2013-05-25-wheezy-raspbian.img

mkdir tmp

sudo mount /dev/mapper/loop0p2 tmp/

cd tmp/etc

sudo vi ld.so.preload /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libcofi_rpi.so comment

#/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libcofi_rpi.so

umount /dev/mapper/loop0p2 kpartx -d 2013-05-25-wheezy-raspbian.img

Then run qemu

qemu-system-arm -kernel kernel-qemu -cpu arm1176 -m 256 -M versatilepb -no-reboot -serial stdio -append "root=/dev/sda2 panic=1" -hda 2013-05-25-wheezy-raspbian.img

this will perfectly boot without any trouble
