[opensuse-virtual] drive with bus=0, unit=0 (index=0) exists
Launching a pre-built QEMU ARM image following the instructions at https://en.opensuse.org/HCL:VersatileExpress Reviewing: Downloaded the disk image, extracted, grew it to 20GB Downloaded the kernel archive, extracted to same folder holding the prepared disk image. Executed the following command from within the folder holding these files, which returns as follows # qemu-system-arm -M vexpress-a9 -m 1G -drive file=openSUSE-12.2-ARM-XFCE-vexpress.armv7l.raw, if=sd -serial stdio -kernel initrd*kernel -initrd initrd*h.gz -append console=tty qemu-system-arm: -drive file=openSUSE-12.2-ARM-XFCE-vexpress.armv7l.raw,: drive with bus=0, unit=0 (index=0) exists Not sure what I'm doing wrong and the error perplexes me... No other VM is running but of course the drive should already exist if I'm pointing to an existing disk image file. I probably am misunderstanding something...

Figured out the problem.
QEMU commands apparently don't support wildcards, you have to
explicitly name files.
On another list, suggested that support for wildcards is problematic
and dependent on the shell being used. May follow up on that idea in
spare time.
BTW - now that I've been able to boot this "openSUSE on ARM using QEMU
emulation" I've found some curious issues...
- No warning that it took almost 45 minutes for the base disk image to
create an install environment, and that is of course before actual
installation. Almost wondered if there was another problem at that
point (not likely).
- Requires a network connection, in my case User Mode Networking since
no configured virtual networks.
- I will likely try again from scratch. My install resulted in no XFCE
environment. Unable to launch startx because the CLI continuously asks
me to login again after entering credentials and some kind of "soft"
CPU hang (inactivity).
So, although this openSUSE ARM might be RC2 status, at least my first
attempt had a problem. Will try again to verify whether issue is
re-producible and/or specific to my system (but this is QEMU which
should remove all system uniqueness issues).
