arm-image-installer with a qemu disk image

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I'm trying to install an aarch64 guest VM on F32 x86-64 host.

I created a suitably large disk image, then proceeded to:

arm-image-installer \
  --image=/home/mrsam/Downloads/Fedora-Workstation-32-1.6.aarch64.raw.xz \
  --target=rpi3 \
  --media=/var/lib/libvirt/images/Fedora-Workstation-32-1.6.aarch64.raw \
  --selinux=ON --norootpass

This churned for a while, and finished with this:

= Proceed? yes
= Writing:
= /home/mrsam/Downloads/Fedora-Workstation-32-1.6.aarch64.raw.xz
= To: Fedora-Workstation-32-1.6.aarch64.raw ….
11661295616 bytes (12 GB, 11 GiB) copied, 210 s, 55.5 MB/s
0+1339534 records in
0+1339534 records out
11811160064 bytes (12 GB, 11 GiB) copied, 210.762 s, 56.0 MB/s
= Writing image complete!
Error: mount Fedora-Workstation-32-1.6.aarch64.raw2 /tmp/boot failed

I surmize that arm-image-installer expected a real /dev to write to, instead of what is effectively a plain fie, so it failed to mount the disk image. I suppose that what it needs to do is a loopback mount, instead. Is there a way to do this?

I tried to create a VM with the raw image, as is. It booted for a while, but left me at a login prompt, demanding the root password, and I could not proceed any further.
