Realview-PB-A8 kernel boots fine on QEMU Emulator. The kernel gets alignment faults only when we try to use KVM ARM. This does not mean there is an issue with KVM ARM because I see similar behavior on Xvisor ARM too. Although, I did not see this issue with VExpress-A9 kernel, so have mentioned it explicitly in my patch. Making this change CPUID specific would be even more correct way of doing it. --Anup On Wed, May 16, 2012 at 2:12 AM, Peter Maydell <peter.maydell at linaro.org>wrote: > On 15 May 2012 21:17, Christoffer Dall <c.dall at virtualopensystems.com> > wrote: > > hmm well, Rusty posted a patch that lets QEMU specify exactly which > > core is being emulated.
