Description Richard W.M. Jones 2014-06-13 10:31:08 UTC

Description of problem:

Grab this image:
http://oirase.annexia.org/tmp/Fedora-21-aarch64-20140407.img.xz
Uncompress it and run:
virt-builder --get-kernel Fedora-21-aarch64-20140407.img

Since this is an ARM image, it requires a dtb to boot.  However
virt-builder --get-kernel doesn't fetch the dtb.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

virt-builder 1.27.14

Comment 1 Richard W.M. Jones 2015-02-25 21:29:29 UTC

Before you look at this, I believe fetching the dtb from
images is actually the wrong thing to do.  It was necessary
back in the bad old days, but these days qemu can reliably
generate a dtb for all arm guests.

So anyway I think this is NOTABUG.

Comment 2 Maros Zatko 2015-02-27 17:29:05 UTC

I was able to boot above aarch64 image using qemu 2.2.50 even with dtb files removed from boot directory.

Comment 3 Pino Toscano 2016-10-04 16:07:27 UTC

Renaming according to the proper place (virt-get-kernel) where this should be implemented, in case.

OTOH, closing as per comment 1 and comment 2.
