Installing ArcaOS on QEmu

(1/1)

Jochen Schäfer:
Hi.

I replaced OS2LVM on the ISO image, but the installation hangs after the boot menu.
Was somebody successful with installing ArcaOS on QEmu and has some tipps?

walking_x:
Try 2.4.x or 2.5.0... 2.5.91 is already broken...

Who knows what they "optimized" to achieve this result, but qemu has a lot more bugs than VBox (which is famous for them ;))

j:
ArcaOS 5.1 runs fine on qemu 9.2 (tested on debian 12 x86_64):

qemu-system-x86_64 -drive file=arca51.img,format=raw -cdrom arca51.iso -m 4G

qemu 9.2 works as of 12/2024.

Good luck!

Dave Yeo:
Good that it is working. Be interesting for Sigurd to test it on his ARM system.

Hello

I personally haven't tried but I have these notes on the wiki:
