# Running disk images in QEMU
## Intro
Notes how to run in QEMU different images. Its cool to run raspi images
with qemu, that allows quickly test what is inside shell, what kind of packages
are missing and if needed test your software.
## Runing Raspberry Pi images
### Download image
Download raspi debian kernel
```
wget -c https://github.com/dhruvvyas90/qemu-rpi-kernel/raw/master/kernel-qemu-4.4.34-jessie
```
Download image
```
wget -c https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspbian_lite/images/raspbian_lite-2017-08-17/2017-08-16-raspbian-stretch-lite.zip
unzip 2017-08-16-raspbian-stretch-lite.zip
```
QEMU is using their own file image format lets concert img to qcow2
```
qemu-img convert -f raw -O qcow2 2017-08-16-raspbian-stretch-lite.img raspbian-stretch-lite.qcow
```
Set network on local machine tun0 that will used by qemu to
```
brctl addbr tun0
brctl addif tun0 enp0s25
```
Start qemu with raspi4 image
````
qemu-system-arm \
-kernel ./kernel-qemu-4.4.34-jessie \
-append "root=/dev/sda2 panic=1 rootfstype=ext4 rw" \
-hda raspbian-stretch-lite.qcow \
-cpu arm1176 -m 256 \
-M versatilepb \
-no-reboot \
-serial stdio \
-nic user,hostfwd=tcp::10022-:22
```
Login to raspi prompt
```
Username: pi
Password: raspberry
```
Getting cursor back
```
Ctrl+Alt+g
```
## Create Image Custom Image
Be careful its your responsibility what you type in terminal.
### Create Image
Create image 128MB in size, with 2 partitions ext2 and ext4, install grub2.
```
dd if=/dev/zero of=disk.img bs=1048576 count=128
parted --script disk.img mklabel msdos mkpart p ext2 1 64 mkpart p ext4 64 128 set 1 boot on
kpartx -a disk.img
mkfs.ext2 /dev/mapper/loop0p1
mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/loop0p2
mkdir /mnt/disk0
mount /dev/mapper/loop0p1 /mnt/disk0/
grub-install --target=i386-pc --recheck --no-floppy --root-directory=/mnt/disk0 --modules="biosdisk part_msdos ext2 configfile normal multiboot" /dev/loop0
nano /mnt/disk0/boot/grub/grub.cfg
umount /mnt/disk0
kpartx -d disk.img
```
### Installing GRUB2
Installing grub
```
grub-install --target=i386-pc --recheck --no-floppy --root-directory=/mnt/disk0 --modules="biosdisk part_msdos ext2 configfile normal multiboot" /dev/loop0
```
After grub installation create config with some minimal entries, and point to kernel that was
copied to partition. Kernel for test could taken from __/boot__ directory.
How to compile kernel its different story.
```bash
## Begin /boot/grub/grub.cfg
set default=1
set timeout=5
probe -u $root --set=rootuuid
set imgdevpath="/dev/disk/by-uuid/$rootuuid"
menuentry "GNU/Linux, vmlinux" {
linux /vmlinux root=/dev/sdb2 ro
}
```
Not sure why it works with sdb2 but not with sda1.
### Launch
Now image is ready to be launched from qemu. Use any kernel image you like,
this will boot tills stage where kernel will ask to set "init=" parameter.
Booting image from local filesystem, all kernel output goes to shell.
```bash
qemu-system-x86_64 \
-kernel diskimages/bzImage \
-hda disk.img \
-append "root=/dev/sdb2 console=ttyS0" \
-serial stdio -display none \
-m 128
```
Booting just from img file
```bash
qemu-system-x86_64 \
-drive format=raw,file=disk.img
-m 128
```
If shell fails with this output. Then everything booting succeed.
```bash
"---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: No working init found. Try passing init= option to kernel. See
Linux Documentation/admin-guide/init.rst for guidance. ]---"
```
Next step is to figure out what to do with this info, maybe make your own distro?
Create some cool ass crypto drive? Or just have fun.
