The sole reason for arm-image-installer is to set up the device specific firmware if the devices require it to been on the same media as the OS. This is not the case with virt as it has dedicated tianocore firmware which is in a completely separate location to the OS virtual disk image. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Virt_ARM_on_x86 You should be able to basically un xz it and follow the instructions linked above. _______________________________________________ arm mailing list -- arm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to arm-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/arm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
