Please try the following patch. That seems to do it.
I am sure it can be improved, but it is a start.

Thanks,

Thanks. I'll test it.
BTW, Qemu codestyle is different, and tab should be replaced with blanks.


Here is where I am. User space code (busybox) was compiled
using the unicore toolchain available on the web.

---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x0000000b

The kernel tries to execute the init program, which fails with SIGSEGV.
I confirmed that the init program is loaded and starts to execute.

Any idea what might cause such a problem ?

Thanks,
Guenter

'slink /init /bin/busybox 777 0 0' should be inserted in initramfs config
Also, I recommend compile busybox statically for initramfs.

I need more information, including full kmsg and initramfs configs


Hi,

I made everything I have available at http://server.roeck-us.net/qemu/unicore32/.
I tried multiple variants for creating the root file system, including the one
on https://github.com/gxt/UniCore32.git and the one using mkrootfs.sh in
the link above. No difference - I always see the same crash. Note that the
'init' program is loading, but crashes with above error (0x0000000b is SIGSEGV
unless I am missing something).

Note that I used the latest qemu for unicore from upstream sources; I was unable
to compile it from git@xxxxxxxxxx:gxt/QEMU.git. Qemu configuration did not seem
to make a difference. The toolchain was extracted from uc4-1.0.5-hard.tgz.

Hope this helps,
Guenter
