Hi,

this basically concludes my problems of getting KVM running on the
Jetson TK1 board with QEMU: all fine now, provided I switch from

  qemu-system-arm -machine vexpress-a15 -sd disk.img ...

to

  qemu-system-arm -machine vexpress-a15 \
    -drive file=3Ddisk.img,if=3Dnone,id=3Ddisk \
    -device virtio-blk-device,drive=3Ddisk ...

This applies to both emulated and KVM accelerated mode. If I run the
same image (and guest kernel) emulated on my x86 box, there is still a
difference between both disk modes, but it's not that excessive. On ARM
the system requires minutes to boot from MMC - if it doesn't run into
timeouts earlier. It's seconds with virtio.

Known problem?

Jan
