Hi, The default kernel latest ubuntu release seems to fail to boot with kvm: qemu-system-arm -m 1024 -cpu cortex-a15 -nographic -machine vexpress-a15 -kernelvmlinuz-3.16.0-25-generic-lpae -dtb vexpress-v2p-ca15-tc1.dtb -append 'root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rw mem=1024M console=ttyAMA0,38400n8 earlyprintk' -enable-kvm Nothing is output, qemu-system-arm spins at 100%. If I drop the -enable-kvm, the kernel will boot in a few seconds ... [ 0.000000] Linux version 3.16.0-25-generic-lpae (buildd@kishi04) (gcc version 4.9.1 (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.9.1-16ubuntu6) ) #33-Ubuntu SMP Tue Nov 4 14:04:54 UTC 2014 (Ubuntu 3.16.0-25.33-generic-lpae 3.16.7) ... Host kernel 3.18-rc7 with exynos_defconfig running on arndale. qemu is 2.2-rc3.
