[fedora-arm] [aarch64] qemu: fatal: Trying to execute code outside RAM or ROM at 0x0000000000000200

[Richard W.M. Jones]

Upstream (git) qemu now supports full system emulation.

Following the instructions here:
http://www.bennee.com/~alex/blog/2014/05/09/running-linux-in-qemus-aarch64-system-emulation-mode/
I can get it to work using the minimal buildroot kernel that Alex
links to in that posting.

However it doesn't work with any of our aarch64 kernels:

~/d/qemu/aarch64-softmmu/qemu-system-aarch64 -M virt -machine type=virt -cpu cortex-a57 -smp 1 -m 2048 -kernel vmlinuz-3.15.0-1.fc21.aarch64 -append "console=ttyAMA0" -serial stdio

Does anyone have any clue why this might be?
