Installing Moblin run-time image in a VM

Submitted by Tariq Shureih, updated on 18 May 2009 - 1 comment
  1. Create an install USB image (ex. moblin.img) in MIC:
  2. Platform: menlow-lpia-moblin2
  3. Target + fsets: core + X
  4. Create a virtual disk (ex. vdisk.img) using QEMU command:
  5. qemu-img create vdisk.img -f qcow2 4G
  6. Install moblin image in the virtual disk, assuming “moblin.img” and
  7. “vdisk.img” are both in the same/current directory.
  8. Note that the title of VM window should be "QEMU/KVM", not "QEMU":
  9. sudo qemu-kvm -no-acpi -m 384 -hda moblin.img -hdb vdisk.img -boot c
  10. Close VM window after successful installation
  11. sudo qemu-kvm -no-acpi -m 384 -hda vdisk.img -boot c to run the newly installed moblin2 image in the VM.
