-current usbboot.img does not boot on qemu - kernel panic

igadoter · 07-28-2021, 12:13 PM

I use this command

Code:

# qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 256M -drive format=raw,file=usbboot.img

It opens qemu window. I see Slackware welcome screen - kernel 5.13.5. Kernel loads. After a while kernel panics with this message

Try with a little more memory

Code:

qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 512M -drive format=raw,file=usbboot.img

Yep. Memory of size 512M works. Problem solved. But comparing to alpine for which is enough default -100M - it is rather large.
