[Qemu-discuss] Does QEMU arm handle hardfloat vfp code?

[Mitchell Kelsey]

When trying to boot a linux from scratch based ext2 hard drive image I 
created for armv6 with vfp hardfloat I can't get it to boot. The kernel 
tosses up a generic "Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill 
init!" and doesn't give and useful information prior to that. I've tried 
this with kernels 3.3.1 and 3.1.10, same result.

When I try the same kernels with a bootstapped version of debian squeeze 
armel which I know is not compiled with armv6 vfp hardfloat it boots 
just fine so that's my guess of the problem.

I tried various google searches and searched this mailing list but I 
can't find any definitive answer one way or the other but that 
difference is the only thing I can think of that might be causing it.

Thanks,
Mitchell
