Re: [fedora-virt] ARM on X86
I also experienced it, by following
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Virt_x86_on_ARM
There, in "How to Test" -> "Get the Media" It says:
Copy kernel, initrd, and dtb to the default libvirt image location:
# sudo mv boot/vmlinuz-3.11.0-300.fc20.armv7hl+lpae
boot/initramfs-3.11.0-300.fc20.armv7hl.img
boot/dtb-3.11.0-300.fc20.armv7hl/vexpress-v2p-ca9.dtb
/var/lib/libvirt/images
--> /vmlinuz-3.11.0-300.fc20.armv7hl+lpae
--> /initramfs-3.11.0-300.fc20.armv7hl.img
So yes, i replaced the kernel with a non +lpae and i got output.
Maybe the page should be updated.
Cheers.

I think the problem is you are using the 'lpae' kernel. That only works with
vexpress-a15 in my experience, and would need to be coupled with the +lpae
initrd variant as well. Try the non-lpae kernel and see if that fixes things.
