You don't need the kernel to be on the image as you can directly pass a kernel to qemu with the -kernel option. aptitude install debootstrap #For a wheezy image : debootstrap wheezy ./wheezy http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian # For a 1GB image : dd if=/dev/zero of=fs.img bs=1M count=1000 mkfs.ext4 fs.img mount -o loop fs.img /mnt cp -a wheezy/* /mnt umount /mnt # Convert it in qcow2: qemu-img convert fs.img -O qcow2 fs.qcow2 # Use it in qemu or kvm qemu -hda fs.qcow2 -kernel arch/${ARCH}/boot/bzimage -append "${KERNEL_OPTIONS}" If you are using vim, you can use pyclewn to control gdb from vim and set breakpoints and stuff. http://pyclewn.sourceforge.net/ -- Christophe _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
