Subject: bug#66053: Childhurd fails to run inside ‘guix system vm’
Date: Sun, 17 Sep 2023 17:21:33 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87sf7cx1tu.fsf@inria.fr> (raw)
Hello!
I’m failing to run a childhurd inside a ‘guix system vm’ GNU/Linux VM as
of fc3a53525ab3dcaf7c22eec8d62294017f9760fe.

When I run it by hand with KVM on my bare-metal GNU/Linux machine, it’s
all good: 👍

However, the same thing *without* KVM (as happens within ‘guix system
vm’) reproduces the “Bad ram pointer” issue:

Good news: I found a workaround! Just use the x86_64 emulator:

Obviously, I have no clue why that works, but who cares, right? :-)
Thoughts?
