Subject: bug#61011: ‘guix system vm’ spawns QEMU and hangs
Date: Sun, 22 Jan 2023 22:36:21 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87sfg245gq.fsf@inria.fr> (raw)
Hello,
On my Guix System machine, the ‘qemu-system-x86_64’ spawned by ‘guix
system vm’ hangs after printing “Booting from ROM...”; it has to be
terminated with SIGKILL, SIGINT is not enough.
Specifically:
$(guix time-machine --commit=66188398c446bdf9ce044fa539536e9b54c28c60 \
-- system vm gnu/system/examples/bare-bones.tmpl) -m 1024 # Good.
… whereas:
$(guix time-machine --commit=9923100a42ffa80f604c1c13a5e999e6a4c15146 \
-- system vm gnu/system/examples/bare-bones.tmpl) -m 1024 # Bad!
I thought the culprit might be this commit:
commit 9923100a42ffa80f604c1c13a5e999e6a4c15146
Date: Fri Dec 23 09:42:27 2022 +0200
gnu: sgabios: Fix build on cross-build architectures.
* gnu/packages/firmware.scm (sgabios)[arguments]: When cross-building
add a make-flag to use the correct objcopy.
… but even after reverting it on today’s master, QEMU occasionally hangs
as before, though not always.
‘qemu-minimal’ as used for “make check-system” seems to work fine.
There have been a number of packages unbundled, so I wonder if another
one of these might be causing problems.
What do you think?
Ludo’.
