1 qemu-sanity-check is a short shell script that test-boots a Linux
2 kernel under qemu, making sure it boots up to userspace. The idea is
3 to test the Linux kernel and/or qemu to make sure they are working.
5 Please read the qemu-sanity-check(1) man page, but basic usage is very
6 simple. You probably want to use one of the following commands:
8 Test qemu on path against most recent installed Linux kernel in /boot
9 (or /lib/modules/VERSION/vmlinuz on some distros):
13 Test a given qemu binary with a given Linux kernel (you can omit
16 qemu-sanity-check --qemu=/path/to/qemu --kernel=/path/to/vmlinuz

35 bash - to run the script
37 gcc - to compile the helper program
39 static libc - to link the helper program statically
41 cpio - to build the initramfs
43 qemu and/or Linux kernel - something to test
45 pod2man (from Perl) - if you want to build the manual page
