Description of problem
I have a bootable Ubuntu 20.04-based operating system image that I typically flash to the internal storage of an embedded Intel Atom computer. When I try booting it under QEMU, I reach the GRUB boot menu, but when it attempts to start the kernel, it outputs:
ERROR:../target/i386/tcg/sysemu/excp_helper.c:517:raise_stage2: code should not be reached
Bail out! ERROR:../target/i386/tcg/sysemu/excp_helper.c:517:raise_stage2: code should not be reached
Aborted (core dumped)
The kernel settings configured in GRUB are:
linux /boot/vmlinuz-5.4.0-132-generic root=UUID=816fe083-fc26-4a0d-ae4a-68d1b16dfb66 ro console=uart,mmio32,0xd091c000 console=ttyS4,115200n8 console=tty0 ?
initrd /boot/initrd.img-5.4.0-132-generic
If I run an older QEMU 4.2.1 that ships with Ubuntu:
