Kernel not booting in QEMU_SYSTEM_MIPS

[soumyasr <Soumya.R@kpitcummins.com>]

Hi all,

   I am new to qemu as well as mips..

1)   I Downloaded the qemu latest version from
http://wiki.qemu.org/download/qemu-0.12.3.tar.gz and installed it
succesfully....
After that i downladed mips-test-0.2.tar.gz from
http://wiki.qemu.org/download/mips-test-0.2.tar.gz and followed the below
commands to boot the kernel
and root file system ....

$ tar zxvf mips-test-0.2.tar.gz
$ cd mips-test
$ qemu-system-mips -M mips -kernel vmlinux-2.6.18-3-qemu -initrdinitrd.gz

When I run the above command

Qemu is launching and nothing else happen. I don't have any error, but I
don't have prompt... It seems that nothing is booting.. I tried the same
with ARM
instead if mips it boots the kernel, rfs and got the login prompt.. Since i
am not getting any errors i am able to figure out what's the problem is???


2)  I tried to build our own customized kernel using the buildroot by
executing the command :
    $ makemenuconfig

Here is the buildroot configuration  :
- Target Architecture => MIPSEL
- Target architecture variant =>mips I (generic)
- Target ABI => o32
- Target Option => default configuration
- Build option => default configuration
- Toolchain => Include target utils in cross toolchain  and build gdb server
for the target
- Package selection => default configuration
- Target file system => cpio (gzip compression)
- Kernel => Same version as linux header
- config file => .config
- kernel binary format => zImage

  when i run the command make to build the kernel i get the following error
message,

rm -rf /home/soumya/buildroot/output/build/buildroot-config
mkdir -p /home/soumya/buildroot/output/build
cp -dpRf package/config/buildroot-config

          Please anybody can help me out to resolve it if I am doing
anything wrong..

Best Regards,
Soumya
