tce-load gives me "mount: can't setup loop device"
« on: August 01, 2016, 01:33:33 PM »
I'm running PiCore 7 in Qemu:

Code: [Select]
qemu-system-arm -kernel zImage -cpu arm1176 -m 256 -M versatilepb -no-reboot -initrd 7.0v7.gz -hda hda.img -append "root=/dev/ram0 elevator=deadline rootwait quiet nozswap nortc noswap"

hda.img has a FAT partition with an empty tce folder.

When I try to install "Midnight commander" with:

 
Code: [Select]
tce-load -wi mc
I get the error: mount: can't setup loop device: No such device or address

Any idea wha't going wrong?

Running piCore-7 on Qemu is not supported.

Indeed, it works with the real image. But it would be nice to have a qemu version (again).

Why?

If you really need, you can make your custom kernel. I'm not sure that 4.4.x with Devicetree can be patched for QEMU, most likely you have to go back to an old kernel before Devicetree support.

QEMU patches and guides available on the Internet.
