I’m trying to compile a (lightweight) Linux kernel and start it on QEMU (and OVMF).

In OVMF’s EFI Internal Shell, on

$ fs0:\vmlinuz-6.2.1

I get:

Command Error Status: Unsupported

Calculate Linux 23 (Gentoo-based) QEMU 7.2.0, OVMF edk2-stable202202

It does start via -kernel QEMU's option.

Help, please? Thanks!

something doesn't match. Are your qemu, system, efi, and kernel all 64 bit? All Intel architecture? – stark Mar 04 '23 at 01:10
In my experience that message often means that the file isn't in the proper executable format. – prl Mar 04 '23 at 05:49
@stark, Yes. It does start via `-kernel` QEMU's option. – Kuraga Mar 04 '23 at 08:49
@prl, it must mean. But where's the error? – Kuraga Mar 04 '23 at 08:51
