Boot fails as HVM under QubesOS

[Szewcson]

I just build serenity, create grub image and copy it as rootfs for my VM. Grub is loading and system starts to boot. But than it hangs and is killed by qrexec timeout.

For creating VM I used this commands:

$ qvm-create --verbose serenity --class StandaloneVM --property virt_mode=hvm --property kernel="" --property memory=256 --property maxmem=256 --label=red
$ sudo su
$ qvm-run -p my-new-qube 'cat /home/user/serenity/Build/i686/grub_disk_image' > /dev/mapper/qubes_dom0-vm--serenity--root

From the Qubes side: if you set the qrexec feature to the empty string, dom0 will not attempt to connect to qrexec in the VM.

[DemiMarie]

Some immediate thoughts:

• Does SerenityOS support the hardware that Qubes OS is emulating? IIRC that is a USB controller (with nothing attached), a network card, a disk drive, and a VGA graphics card.
• Does the VM respond to any network requests? That will require setting up a network server in the VM.

[ADKaster]

For USB, Serenity does not support anything other than enumerating a bus controller. e.g. USB HIDs like keyboards are not supported, only PS/2 through an emulated (or real) I8042 chipset.

My first shoot was that maybe the emulated VGA was not supported but can't figured out from the docs if this is the case.
