[OE-core] [oe-core] QEMU with ARM Cortex A9 with hard float configuration - Kernel panic

[Elvis Dowson]

Hi Bruce,
                   I noticed that you've committed the changes for qemuarma9 KMACHINE configuration to the linux-yocto kernel.

http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/linux-yocto-3.8/tree/meta/cfg/kernel-cache/bsp?h=meta

I adapted the qemuarm.conf configuration and booted it up, but nothing shows up in the QEMU window, I just get a black screen.

Has qemu with the qemuarma9 configuration been successfully built and tested before?

This is how my qemuarm.conf looks like, locally at the moment:

#@TYPE: Machine
#@NAME: qemuarmhf
#@DESCRIPTION: Machine configuration for QEMU ARM Cortex A9 hard float.

# Specify the default tune.
DEFAULTTUNE = "armv7a-neon"

require conf/machine/include/qemu.inc
require conf/machine/include/tune-cortexa9.inc

# Specify the machine name used by the kernel.
KMACHINE_qemuarm = "qemuarma9"

# Specify the kernel image type.
KERNEL_IMAGETYPE = "zImage"

# Specify the serial console parameters.
SERIAL_CONSOLE = "115200 ttyAMA0"
