[Bug 1895053] Re: Cannot nspawn raspbian 10 [FAILED] Failed to start Journal Service.

[Laurent Vivier]

Normally, they are on the standard output, something like:

$ sudo systemd-nspawn -D root --boot
Spawning container root on /mnt.
Press ^] three times within 1s to kill container.
1 brk(NULL) = 0x4013f000
1 uname(0x3ffffa00) = 0
1 access("/etc/ld.so.preload",R_OK) = 0
1 openat(AT_FDCWD,"/etc/ld.so.preload",O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE|O_CLOEXEC) = 4
1 fstat64(4,0x3ffffb38) = 0
1 mmap2(NULL,54,PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE,MAP_PRIVATE,4,0) = 0x3f7cc000
1 close(4) = 0
1 readlink("/proc/self/exe",0x3fffe6f0,4096) = 2
...

Check the content of /mnt/usr/bin, you must have "qemu-arm" and "qemu-
arg-org".

You can try "sudo chroot /mnt" to see if you have some traces.

Title:
  Cannot nspawn raspbian 10 [FAILED] Failed to start Journal Service.

Status in QEMU:
  New

Bug description:
  Hi, I'm using nspawn and asked the question @systemd-devel. They redirected 
me to you, guessing that nspawn calls a syscall or ioctl qemu isnt aware of and 
can't implement properly?
  They were like: "Sorry, that's not my department." ^^

  Maybe you can reproduce the issue or help me investigating whats wrong
  or put the ball right back into their court? :D

  Testscript:
  wget https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspios_lite_armhf_latest -o r.zip
  unzip r.zip
  LOOP=$(losetup --show -Pf *raspios-buster-armhf-lite.img)
  mount ${LOOP}p2 /mnt
  mount ${LOOP}p1 /mnt/boot
  systemd-nspawn --bind /usr/bin/qemu-arm-static --boot --directory=/mnt -- 
systemd.log_level=debug
