[Qemu-devel] How to mount, install and/or otherwise use an ARM Zero Client image wi th Qemu in Windows

[address@hidden]

Hi all,

 

I apologize in advance about my lack of intelligence on this matter, but I am urgently trying to figure out how to get Qemu to work under Windows for mounting and using a Linux-based natively ARM CPU design image to work.  I have tried the windows installers and "DIY" version here:

 

http://qemu.weilnetz.de/

 

And here:

 

http://lassauge.free.fr/qemu/

 

But I just can't seem to get any of them to run right.  I am 100% positive that I am the one screwing it up though, so at least I found the root cause!  :)

 

I have a no-frills Windows 7 x86 VM sitting on a Hyper-v host.  Within that, I have installed Qemu, which *seems* to be installed correctly.  If I run qemu-system-armw.exe, the console loads and the drop-downs are navigatable and all is well.  Also, I was able to successfully make the *.img file via qemu-img.  However, if I try to install a CD image or attach a .vhd or .vhdx (which I read are supposed to work), it crashes with the following error:

 

"Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.

Please contact the application's support team for more info"

 

Most recently, I've tried to just mount the .iso with the CD Image for the Zero Client that is expecting to be installed on an ARM system the following way:

 

 qemu-system-armw.exe -m 256 -hda mynewimage.img -cdrom zeroclient.iso -boot d

 

as well as:

 

 qemu-system-armw.exe -m 256 -hda mynewimage.img -cdrom /dev/cdrom -boot d

 

And the Qemu Console pops up, sits there for about 20 seconds, and then the error above appears and I have to shut it down.

 

The latest install I'm using is based off of the "qemu-w32-setup-20140118.exe" file from the first link above.

 

Can anyone help me with this?  Like I said, I'm sure I'm going about it all wrong, but if anyone can assist me, I would be GREATLY appreciative as I have been hitting a way for days and need to get this figured out asap.  Thanks so much everyone!  :)
