Hello,

I am trying to create my own 64 bit kernel on a M4 Apple MacBook. When I setup paging and start the interrupts it crashes / stuck and I get a black screen. Is there anybody who knows if QEMU had a problem with MacBook M4 ?

Thank you for helping

Kind regards,

Robert

How did you install qemu? Is your kernel an aarch64 one or is it x86_64?

I haven't used native qemu, but I can confirm that qemu works just fine in an aarch64 Linux virtual machine running on an M4 Mac mini (via VMWare Fusion).

It is x86_64 with a custom build 64 bit kernel. I fully develop on the Mac.

As I said, I use a Linux (Fedora) VM on my M4 Mac mini. I just find the Linux tools more versatile and easier to deal with than the OS X ones. But I can't see any reason why qemu wouldn't work just fine natively. I presume that you compiled it yourself via MacPorts or something similar?
