[Qemu-devel] SD card on ARM

[Qemu-devel] SD card on ARM

[Doug Schaefer]

Hey gang, I ran into the same issue someone else raised in the forum. Is 
the SD card option supposed to be working on ARM? If so, are there 
official instructions on how to set it up for Linux? I've been trying 
with Paul's kernel/initrd and my own kernel build and no luck.

Thanks,
Doug.

Sounds like the problem I reported here:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2009-02/msg00039.html

There's a patch there if you want to give it a try. With that patch I am 
able to mount SD cards on ARM/Integrator.

Excellent. That seems to work. I was able to create partitions. I also 
tried with a mkfs.ext2 created file.

Was the plan to make this an official patch, or are there issues still 
to be resolved?

Thanks!
Doug.

I don't know of any issues. I think Paul Brook would have to OK it to 
make it official.
