Hello,
I am trying to boot the Raspberry Pi image in qemu KVM on CentOS7. I converted the image to a qcow2 file system, extracted the /boot directory and tried to boot.
I am using the following command:
$ sudo virt-install --name centos7_armhfp \ --memory 4096 \ --boot kernel=/var/lib/libvirt/armhfp-boot/boot/vmlinuz-4.14.28- 201.el7.centos.armv7hl,initrd=/var/lib/libvirt/armhfp- boot/boot/initramfs-4.14.28- 201.el7.centos.armv7hl.img,kernel_args="console=ttyAMA0 rw root=/dev/sda3" \ --disk /var/lib/libvirt/images/CentOS-Userland-7-armv7hl-Generic- Minimal-1708-guest.qcow2 \ --import \ --arch armv7l \ --machine virt \ --os-variant centos7.0
I get the following error:
Starting install... ERROR unsupported configuration: qemu-xhci not supported in this QEMU binary Domain installation does not appear to have been successful. If it was, you can restart your domain by running: virsh --connect qemu:///system start centos7_armhfp otherwise, please restart your installation.
I am following this tutorial that should technically work on all architectures if modified to fit:
https://arrfab.net/posts/2017/Sep/29/using-centos-7-armhfp-vm-on-centos -7-aarch64/
What am I doing wrong? I searched the web a bit but found no significant results.
I tried to boot with the generic and the pi images with the same error output. I feel like I am missing something simple because I am used to using virt-manager instead of the command line to install virtual machines.
Thanks,

Just to be sure : you're trying that on a aarch64 kvm host, not on a x86_64 one, right ? (I prefer asking the obvious thing first)

I am trying to do so on a x86_64 Centos 7 host. Is there not a way to run Centos ARM on this architecture within a virtual machine? I skipped the relevant parts of the how to in order to get KVM working. For example, I skipped installing AAVMF and used qemu-system-arm instead.

Short answer: No, you cannot run virtual ARM using KVM on physical x86.
Long answer: You typically need qemu emulator build specifically for the hardware of which you are trying to run the image from as a lot of the time the kernel isn't generic enough for a different board. Last I checked there was no specific qemu r-pi emulator, but there may be one now.
I hardly ever use VMs these days, I use a custom build kernel (for 4KB pages), and use containers instead if I only need to test/configure the userspace part.
