I use Qemu can boot the kernel compiled by myself.
But if I grab the kernel from the SD card, Qemu can not boot it?
Any idea?
Thx.

Re: Why the original kernel can not boot by Qemu?
Qemu is not emulating a RPI so it needs a special kernel for the virtual hardware.

You mean Qemu does not support PI's cpu type?

Qemu is emulating the same cpu -cpu arm1176 but another platform -M versatilepb, see here:

You have a SCSI controler, PL110 LCD controller , ect.... that a PI not have.
