Steps to reproduce
- Boot arm64 bit board
- After boot success check for "ls /dev/kvm" kvm device entry
- If /dev/kvm not found, mark test case as not applicable and exit
- Else continue below steps for installation of required packages
- Run "sudo apt-get update"
- Run "sudo apt-get install qemu-system wget xz-utils"
- Use arm64 kernel Image from /boot
- cp /boot/vmlinuz-
uname -r
Image - Use arm64 initrd.img from /boot
- {'Note': 'please double check is it Debian initrd image or CentOS initrd'}
- {'Note': 'please check the name of initrd file under /boot and kernel version appended to file name'}
- cp /boot/initrd.img-
uname -r
initrd.img - Execute the following command to download arm64 minimal rootfs
- wget http://testdata.validation.linaro.org/kvm/kvm-aarch64.qcow2.xz
- xz -d kvm-arm64.qcow2.xz
- Test arm64 guest Image on arm64 host
- Run "qemu-system-aarch64 -smp 2 -m 512 -cpu host -machine type=virt,gic-version=host -kernel Image -initrd initrd.img -append 'root=/dev/vda2 rw rootwait console=ttyAMA0,38400n8 earlycon=pl011,0x9000000' -device virtio-blk-device,drive=image -drive if=none,id=image,file=kvm-aarch64.qcow2 -nographic -enable-kvm 2>&1 | tee tee kvm-arm64.log"
- Wait for couple of minutes let the qemu start booting guest kernel
