Description Daniel Berrangé 2020-09-04 10:16:33 UTC

Description of problem:

Some architectures do not have a default machine type in QEMU

$ qemu-sanity-check --qemu=arm-softmmu/qemu-system-arm --kernel=/lib/modules/5.9.0-0.rc3.20200902git9c7d619be5a0.1.fc34.armv7hl/vmlinuz
qemu-system-arm: -nographic: No machine specified, and there is no default
Use -machine help to list supported machines

Eiter qemu-sanity-check needs to automagically pick a machine type, or it needs a --machine  arg to let it be passed in, or both.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.1.5-16

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run sanity check with arm / aarch64 binary

Actual results:
Fails due to lack of machine type

Expected results:
Runs

Fixed in qemu-sanity-check-1.1.6-1.fc34 if I can ever manage to
get the tests to pass.
