Installing Fedora aarch64 with QEMU and libvirt
These steps will work on both x86 and aarch64 hardware. If running on actual aarch64 hardware, the virt-install commands should automatically request KVM for maximum performance.
Get the necessary bits
- Fedora 22 host or later is required
- Grab the latest qemu-system-aarch64, libvirt, and virt-manager
- Grab UEFI builds for QEMU and AARCH64
- Note: These bits are not part of fedora due to licensing issues. See Using_UEFI_with_QEMU#EDK2_Licensing_Issues for more info.
- Install Gerd's nightly firmware repo, as described here: https://www.kraxel.org/repos/
- Install the relevant bits:
sudo dnf install edk2.git-aarch64
Installing F23 aarch64 from URL
- This example uses the F23 aarch64 install tree. The virt-install command is:
sudo ./virt-install \ --name f23-aarch64-urlinst --ram 2048 --arch aarch64 \ --boot uefi --disk size=8 \ --location https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/23/Server/aarch64/iso/
Installing F23 aarch64 from CDROM
- Grab the ISO:
- This example uses the F23 aarch64 install DVD: https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/23/Server/aarch64/iso/Fedora-Server-DVD-aarch64-23.iso
- Move it to /var/lib/libvirt/images
- From the virt-manager.git checkout, run:
sudo ./virt-install \ --name f23-aarch64-cdrom --ram 2048 --arch aarch64 \ --boot uefi --disk size=8 --os-variant fedora22 \ --cdrom /var/lib/libvirt/images/Fedora-Server-DVD-aarch64-23.iso
