13:57 < soko> hello. i am getting an error on launch when i set-hv to an arm system. the error appears to be caused by no default machine. here is a log https://pastebin.com/CUBcnG44 13:59 < soko> the default hv works (launch, mount, etc) but fails to emulate (sh, command, etc) the binaries on the fs 14:17 < soko> if i upload qemu-arm-static and then command it works, but seems like changing the hv should work in a more clean way. any advice is appreciated! The error from the pastebin is: [00038ms] /usr/local/bin/qemu-system-arm \ -global virtio-blk-pci.scsi=off \ -enable-fips \ -nodefaults \ -display none \ -machine accel=kvm:tcg \ -m 500 \ -no-reboot \ -rtc driftfix=slew \ -global kvm-pit.lost_tick_policy=discard \ -kernel /var/tmp/.guestfs-0/appliance.d/kernel \ -initrd /var/tmp/.guestfs-0/appliance.d/initrd \ -drive file=/opt/kore_dtf/dropthefw/build_directory/5/rootfs.raw,cache=writeback,id=hd0,if=none \ -device virtio-blk-pci,drive=hd0 \ -drive file=/var/tmp/.guestfs-0/appliance.d/root,snapshot=on,id=appliance,cache=unsafe,if=none \ -device virtio-blk-pci,drive=appliance \ -device virtio-serial-pci \ -serial stdio \ -chardev socket,path=/tmp/libguestfsxlkp01/guestfsd.sock,id=channel0 \ -device virtserialport,chardev=channel0,name=org.libguestfs.channel.0 \ -append 'panic=1 console=ttyS0 udevtimeout=6000 udev.event-timeout=6000 no_timer_check lpj=8333313 acpi=off printk.time=1 cgroup_disable=memory root=/dev/vdb selinux=0 guestfs_verbose=1 TERM=xterm' qemu-system-arm: -machine accel=kvm:tcg: No machine specified, and there is no default Actually what's happening here is that soko is trying to do all of this on an x86_64 host. Unfortunately that won't work, because the appliance that is built is for x86_64 so it cannot run on top of qemu-system-arm. But also (for basic file access) it's not necessary either, just use qemu-system-x86_64.
