Install to ARM virtual machine

[enoch (Enoch Leung)]

I want to try IPFire in an ARM machine=virt VM, and cannot get it going using the “experimental ISO”. It seems to boot fine without screen so I cannot proceed. The installer does not support installing via serial console, right? And for graphics I think the virtual_gpu (the only “video” that works for me, not QXL nor VGA) is not included, or not auto loaded? How may I get to the next step? Thanks for advice.

(The same VM works with alpine)

The installer support serial console. It use the same device than the kernel (e.g. console=/dev/ttyS0) but make sure that only one console= argument is given to the kernel.
