Re: Debian and QEMU virtio-net-device
Hi, Ian,
I tried several variations with different DTBs, and nothing worked. I
also tried your example, with no difference. All I get is an empty console.
My initrd.gz is a symlink to initrd.img-3.16.0-4-armmp and vmlinuz is a
symlink to vmlinuz-3.16.0-4-armmp, which I think are the correct files.
Is my problem possibly that I'm trying to upgrade an existing ARM
installation instead of installing new? But even if it were, I would
expect to see *something* to indicate a boot failure.
Totally perplexing!
