[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1241569] Re: qemu-system-alpha console unresponsive

[T. Huth]

I think that firmware prompt is not really useful. Anyway, according to
https://virtuallyfun.superglobalmegacorp.com/2014/02/19/alpha-linux-on-
qemu/ you currently have to specify the (uncompressed) vmlinux kernel
with the "-kernel" option of QEMU. Then you should be able to start
Linux with qemu-system-alpha, too.

Title:
  qemu-system-alpha console unresponsive

Status in QEMU:
  New

Bug description:
  I have created a virtual machine using the QEMU Alpha emulator (very
  basic, 1 scsi disc, 1 scsi CDROM, 1gb memory). The machine starts, but
  entering any system commands at the prompt just echs back the command
  typed. For example

  >>> show device
  got: show device
  >>> 

  Obviously booting any OS from this is not possible.
