Why can't I run my images on QEMU? (Infinite Loop at VM boot)












1















Running Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit. I've installed QEMU/KVM, and I'm trying to create a Virtual Machine running Android using a .iso obtained from the Android-x86 project.



I can run the .iso using -cdrom <address>/android-x86_64-7.1-r2.iso -boot d and the installation is accused of being successful, 10G partitioned as one bootable ext4. However, when I reboot, the QEMU reads the .img and recognizes it as an Android, but then it takes me to a black screen/blank screen.



If I opt for a Debug run, when it gets to that part, it shows me an infinite loop. Many services like 'zygote_secundary', 'cameraserver', and others are getting killed by Signal 6 or Signal 9, or just killed, then restarted.
It also starts accusing SELinux of not being defined.



I did it with different ISOs, Android 8.1 to Android 6.0, and the result is the same:
I can run enough to install them, but I can't run enough to boot the android system, any of them.



Commands entered:



$ sudo apt-get install qemu qemu-kvm libvirt-bin
$ qemu-img create -f qcow2 android-test.img 10G
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -m 1024 -enable-kvm -net nic -net user -hda android-test.img -cdrom android-x86_64-7.1-r2.iso -boot d
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -m 1024 -enable-kvm -net nic -net user -hda android-test.img


I don't know how to copy the QEMU logs though, so if you need specific information and can guide me on how to get it for you, I'll do it.



Edit:

Ran a kvm-ok test:



$ kvm-ok
INFO: /dev/kvm exists
KVM acceleration can be used

    I once had Oracle VM VIrtualBox installed here, but it was uninstalled long ago, and I don't know if maybe something was left messed up, like, some library maybe?
