QEMU script does not boot

[stapelberg]

I tried running ./QEMU, and qemu doesn’t boot:

I don’t see any reference to usbstick.xz in the QEMU file, so I tried ./QEMU usbstick.xz but got the same result.

Can you clarify how the script is supposed to be run, or does it have a bug maybe?

BTW, in README.md, you call it TESTQEMU, but the file is called QEMU.

Ah, it needs to be bash QEMU -hda usbstick after decompressing the file, but I only found that in the book (https://book.linuxboot.org/cpu/), not in the README. Sounds like the README needs an update :)

Yea, and sorry for it taking so long; we just had some cpu workshops at openSUSE Conferece.

I've made a UEFI variant that can also run on real hardware, and here's a PR with README updates #5 :-)

Besides using the usbstick.xz, you can also run the kernel directly, as described in the README update:

./QEMU -kernel cpukernel

Note: The cpu / cpud tools had some design changes, breaking compat between versions. Those within the root directory of this project and those withinn the uefi directory work among their respective kernels, which have cpud built into them as an initramfs.

I noticed that the main README mentions a non-existent script, TESTQEMU. Whoops, I think @rminnich may have it somewhere and forgot to commit or something...?
