I want to use QEMU to emulate a RaspberryPi ArchLinuxArm environment. I set up my environment like: CHROOT_IMAGE="alarmpi1.img" CHROOT_LOCATION="alarmpi1" dd of="${CHROOT_IMAGE}" bs=1 seek=16G count=0 && \ /sbin/mkfs.ext4 -m 0 -L 'rootfs' -F "${CHROOT_IMAGE}" && \ mkdir -m0700 "${CHROOT_LOCATION}" && touch -t 197001010100 "${CHROOT_LOCATION}" && \ sudo mount -t ext4 -o defaults,rw,nodiratime,noatime,user_xattr -v "${CHROOT_IMAGE}" "${CHROOT_LOCATION}" && \ ( [[ -f "ArchLinuxARM-rpi-latest.tar.gz" ]] || wget 'http://archlinuxarm.org/os/ArchLinuxARM-rpi-latest.tar.gz' ) && \ [[ -f "ArchLinuxARM-rpi-latest.tar.gz" ]] && \ findmnt "${CHROOT_LOCATION}" &> /dev/null && \ ( cd "${CHROOT_LOCATION}" && sudo -- bash -c "ROOT=\"${PWD}/\" emerge -1qv --usepkgonly --nodeps app-emulation/qemu" ) QEMU is installed as: [I] app-emulation/qemu Installed versions: 2.10.0{tbz2}(13:48:54 2017-10-03)(aio alsa bluetooth bzip2 caps curl fdt filecaps gnutls gtk iscsi jpeg lzo ncurses nfs nls opengl pin-upstream-blobs png pulseaudio python sasl sdl sdl2 seccomp smartcard snappy spice ssh static-user tci usb usbredir vde vhost-net virgl virtfs vnc xattr xfs -accessibility -debug -glusterfs -gtk2 -infiniband -numa -rbd -selinux -static -systemtap -test -vte -xen KERNEL="linux -FreeBSD" LINGUAS="bg de_DE fr_FR hu it tr zh_CN" PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7" QEMU_SOFTMMU_TARGETS="aarch64 alpha arm cris i386 lm32 m68k microblaze microblazeel mips mips64 mips64el mipsel moxie nios2 or1k ppc ppc64 ppcemb s390x sh4 sh4eb sparc sparc64 tricore unicore32 x86_64 xtensa xtensaeb" QEMU_USER_TARGETS="aarch64 alpha arm armeb cris hppa i386 m68k microblaze microblazeel mips mips64 mips64el mipsel mipsn32 mipsn32el nios2 or1k ppc ppc64 ppc64abi32 ppc64le s390x sh4 sh4eb sparc sparc32plus sparc64 tilegx x86_64") Homepage: http://www.qemu.org http://www.linux-kvm.org Description: QEMU + Kernel-based Virtual Machine userland tools I then enter the environment: ( findmnt "${CHROOT_LOCATION}" &> /dev/null || sudo mount -t ext4 -o defaults,rw,nodiratime,noatime,user_xattr -v alarmpi1.img "${CHROOT_LOCATION}" ) && \ ( gcc -static qemu-wrapper--arm1176jz-s.c -O3 -s -o qemu-wrapper--arm1176jz-s && sudo mv -v qemu-wrapper--arm1176jz-s "${CHROOT_LOCATION}/usr/bin"/ && sudo chown 0:0 "${CHROOT_LOCATION}/usr/bin/qemu-wrapper--arm1176jz-s" ) && ( findmnt "${CHROOT_LOCATION}/dev" &> /dev/null || sudo mount -o rbind -v /dev "${CHROOT_LOCATION}/dev" ) && \ ( findmnt "${CHROOT_LOCATION}/proc" &> /dev/null || sudo mount -t proc -v none "${CHROOT_LOCATION}/proc" ) && \ ( findmnt "${CHROOT_LOCATION}/sys" &> /dev/null || sudo mount -o bind -v /sys "${CHROOT_LOCATION}/sys" ) && \ ( findmnt "${CHROOT_LOCATION}/tmp" &> /dev/null || sudo mount -o bind -v /tmp "${CHROOT_LOCATION}/tmp" ) && \ sudo rm -fv "${CHROOT_LOCATION}/etc/resolv.conf" && \ sudo cp -av /etc/resolv.conf "${CHROOT_LOCATION}/etc/" && sudo chroot "${CHROOT_LOCATION}" /bin/bash --login The wrapper points to the qemu binary, of course. And qemu-binfmt is pointing to the wrapper. I do have a working ls, for instance: [root@machine /]# ls -al total 68 drwxr-xr-x 17 root root 4096 Oct 5 06:05 . drwxr-xr-x 17 root root 4096 Oct 5 06:05 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Apr 1 2017 bin -> usr/bin drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Sep 10 16:32 boot drwxr-xr-x 24 root root 6920 Oct 4 15:46 dev drwxr-xr-x 43 root root 4096 Oct 5 06:14 etc drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Sep 10 16:33 home lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Apr 1 2017 lib -> usr/lib drwx------ 2 root root 16384 Oct 5 06:02 lost+found drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 1 2017 mnt drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Sep 10 16:32 opt dr-xr-xr-x 500 root root 0 Oct 4 15:43 proc drwxr-x--- 3 root root 4096 Sep 10 16:32 root drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Sep 10 16:32 run lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Apr 1 2017 sbin -> usr/bin drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Sep 10 16:32 srv dr-xr-xr-x 12 root root 0 Oct 4 15:44 sys drwxrwxrwt 34 root root 4096 Oct 5 06:14 tmp drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 4096 Oct 5 06:09 usr drwxr-xr-x 12 root root 4096 Sep 10 16:32 var But, running pacman leads to a segmentation fault: [root@machine /]# pacman -Syy :: Synchronizing package databases... error: segmentation fault Please submit a full bug report with --debug if appropriate. If I however exchange the last line of the environment setup to: sudo cp -av /usr/bin/qemu-arm-static "${CHROOT_LOCATION}/usr/bin"/ where the static binary is Debian's (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tsjk/gentoo-ebuilds/master/app-emulation/qemu-user-static-bin/qemu-user-static-bin-2.10.0_p1.ebuild) and re-point the wrapper, then all is well: [root@machine /]# pacman -Syy :: Synchronizing package databases... core 176.9 KiB 1291K/s 00:00 [#####################################################################################################] 100% extra 2.1 MiB 1516K/s 00:01 [#####################################################################################################] 100% community 3.9 MiB 2.53M/s 00:02 [#####################################################################################################] 100% alarm 38.4 KiB 800K/s 00:00 [#####################################################################################################] 100% aur 7.6 KiB 3.73M/s 00:00 [#####################################################################################################] 100% What could be wrong here? And what more can I do to aid resolution?
Can you reproduce with qemu-2.10.1?
This could be a glibc issue as well, what glibc did you resp. debian use? BTW, if you use the binfmt flag F you don't need to copy /usr/bin/qemu-arm-static around.
I'll take another look soon then. Been busy, but haven't forgotten this.
Please reopen if you can reproduce.
