qemu-system-x86_64: -drive file=root.qcow2,media=disk,if=virtio: Could not open 'root.qcow2': No such file or directory

[danielboston38]

that is the error message i am getting when i type in ./run. im not sure what else to do.

[michaelforney]

You have to build the image first.

[danielboston38]

i did.

[danielboston38]

do i have to tell qemu where it is? its in the same directory.

[michaelforney]

qemu says the file didn't exist. Make sure you built an image called root.qcow2 in the directory you ran the run script from.

[danielboston38]

ah it called it image shouldnt' the script name it properly?

[michaelforney]

The script names the image whatever name you passed it on the command-line.

[danielboston38]

now it says bzImage is missing.

[michaelforney]

Build a kernel and put it there.
