Hello.
I have downloaded aarch64 ISO for virtual. I want to run it inside QEMU.
I have added edk2 as flash (UEFI). It boots to GRUB but then it fails
to run Linux virt. Has anybody qemu command line to run aarch64 alpine
ISO.
I don't want to extract kernel and initrd and run it this way. I want
to try it to boot as UEFI. I used -cdrom parameter for qemu but for
grub inside QEMU it appears as disk with 3 parts: gap1, msdos1 and
gap2 and grub cannot read them from grub command line. (ls (hd0,gpt1)/
shows unknown file system).
Thanks for any hint I could try.

that message indicates the image cannot be boot from UEFI bios gpt partition

Hello Peter,
do you use the GRUB inside the ISO or any other GRUB?
On the ISO you are looking to boot /efi/boot/bootaa64.efi - this should
be the GRUB on the ISO with the right configuration file.
I don't think you will be able to access an ISOHYBRID with gpt nor hd0.

Hello.
I have used original aarch64 ISO from
http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.11/releases/aarch64/alpine-virt-3.11.2-aarch64.iso
I use QEMU 4.1.0 on windows. I use edk2-aarch64-code.fd as UEFI
bios.and arrch64 ISO as -cdrom.
It normally boots UEFI and then starts GRUB from above ISO. It
contains only "Linux virt" menuitem and after I press enter on it it
fails to start linux. There are some messages but it quickly returns
to GRUB menu, so I can't read it. Then I used grub command line to try
to set root and kernel manually, but it fails to read partitions from
ISO.
So that's the steps I have tried.

Hello again.
I have made progress. It looks like efi_vars was missing. I added
empty 64MB img file as second pflash and then it booted to console
line.
My qemu cmd line looks like:
qemu-system-aarch64.exe -M virt -m 1G -cpu cortex-a57 -pflash
edk2-aarch64-code.fd -pflash efi_vars.img -cdrom
alpine-virt-3.11.2-aarch64.iso -vga none -device
virtio-gpu-pci,xres=800,yres=600 -net nic,model=virtio -net
user,hostfwd=tcp::2222-:22 -device usb-ehci,id=ehci -device
usb-tablet,bus=ehci.0
.
Then I can successfully login on serial console. Other problem is that
on graphic console (virtio-gpu-pci) the keyboard is not working
eventhough I have added usb-tablet. But that's another story. I was
not able to get keyboard and mouse with virtio-gpu-pci on any
distribution I have tried. Maybe some qemu command line parameter is
missing.
So now I can boot and ISO is working.

Use qemu on right OS like linux and said good bye to problems..
