[Bug 534324] [NEW] Can't run uncompressed (vmlinux) kernels

[Loïc Minier]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: qemu-kvm

Hi

I can't run vmlinux (uncompressed) kernels with qemu-system-arm; they
just hang on boot.  vmlinuz ones (bzImage).

I can however kexec vmlinux kernels just fine.

This was tested under versatile.

I'm running it as follows:
qemu-system-arm -m 256  -drive file=lucid.img,media=disk -M versatilepb -cpu cortex-a8 -kernel vmlinux -append 'root=/dev/sda console=ttyAMA0,115200 S rootwait' -nographic

Bye,
