> I'm trying to start a Fedora riscv64 VM on an ArchLinux
x86_64 host based on this wiki page:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/RISC-V/Installing I have a reasonably recent
qemu and virt-manager:
I'm not sure, but you might want to chat with david in
#fedora-riscv
on Libera.
Also it may work better using libvirt to manage the guest.
Alright, I'll try to post into #fedora-riscv then.
For the record, I've re-done all my experiments on a Fedora machine today (an
all-default Fedora 34 VM installed from the KDE spin live image). (For riscv emulation it
hopefully shouldn't matter if the host is a VM or not. The machine can do nested
virtualization, but this is irrelevant for emulation.)
I tried both raw qemu-system-riscv64 and libvirt, but sadly the results were exactly the
same as before, both the address conflict and the qemu / OpenSBI freeze with the
"conflicting" firmware image flag removed. Whatever the problem is, the
ArchLinux host was likely not the cause. The raw qemu at least shows an OpenSBI splash
text before freezing. With libvirt the console connection is hopelessly frozen and nothing
appears.
