[Qemu-devel] [Bug 893208] Re: qemu on ARM hosts can't boot i386 image

[PeteVine]

I was about to file a bug with the exact symptoms.

I can't boot a (possibly the very one) debian wheezy standard qcow2
image on my Odroid C1 (works fine on x86-32 with the same command line)
using qemu-system-i386 that I built yesterday from git source.

Is there a workaround or has nobody needed this for the last 4 years?
Please advise on how to provide more relevant details.

Thanks

  qemu on ARM hosts can't boot i386 image

Bug description:
  If you apply some workarounds for bug 870990, bug 883133 and bug
  883136 QEMU still cannot boot the i386
  debian_squeeze_i386_standard.qcow2 image from
  http://people.debian.org/~aurel32/qemu/i386/ -- grub starts to boot
  but something causes the system to reset just before display of the
  blue-background grub menu, so we go round in a loop forever. This
  image boots OK on i386 hosted qemu so this indicates some kind of ARM-
  host specific bug.
