Re: Invalid accelerator kvm / error: kvm run failed Function not implemented ERRORS trying to virtualize a guest OS on the ARM Chromebook running with a relatively recent kernel version and KVM enabled

[Mario Marietto]

ok. I could extract the kernel files (so,between the qemu parameters I should put : initrd and vmlinuz,right ? How ?

-enable-kvm -serial stdio -kernel vmlinux -what here initrd \

from the ubuntu 22.10 img,but I'm sure that it does not have any dtb file. I never needed a dtb file when I booted my vms,neither with qemu,nor with bhyve.

You can't do that. There is no guest BIOS image for that machine
type which knows how to read disk images and boot from them.
So you must manually extract (or otherwise provide) a suitable
kernel (and perhaps also initrd and dtb file) and pass them
to QEMU, because QEMU's "built in bootloader" is very simple
and just loads the kernel file and jumps to it.
