Qemu machine not starting

[Shubham Bansal]

I just installed syzkaller again.

Tried to start the qemu machine but its not getting started. I am running it inside VMWare without vmware-tools.

Command line I am using.

$ qemu-system-aarch64 -machine virt -cpu cortex-a57 -nographic -smp 1 -hda arm64/buildroot-2017.02.5/output/images/rootfs.ext3 -kernel ./linux/arch/arm64/boot/Image -append "console=ttyAMA0 root=/dev/vda oops=panic panic_on_warn=1 panic=-1 ftrace_dump_on_oops=orig_cpu debug earlyprintk=serial slub_debug=UZ" -m 2048 -net user -net nic

WARNING: Image format was not specified for '/home/in3o/fuzzing/arm64/buildroot-2017.02.5/output/images/rootfs.ext3' and probing guessed raw.

         Automatically detecting the format is dangerous for raw images, write operations on block 0 will be restricted.

         Specify the 'raw' format explicitly to remove the restrictions.

Warning: hub port hub0port1 has no peer

Warning: vlan 0 with no nics

Warning: netdev hub0port1 has no peer

Warning: requested NIC (anonymous, model unspecified) was not created (not supported by this machine?)

Can anybody help me with this? I was able to run it back in April/May but now its not starting.

Found the problem. Was using wrong qemu. I used the qemu from the ubuntu repo, I didn't compile it from the source code.

Thanks.
