When I `make defconfig` (picking up arch/arm64/configs/defconfig), and then enable VIRTIO_MMIO in the menuconfig, it builds fine. > I don't have any VGA option enabled.

Unfortunately, even with VIRTIO_MMIO built in, I get the same error: VFS: Cannot open root device "vda" or unknown-block(0,0): error -6 Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions: Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) Any hints on how to proceed from here? What is your kernel configuration (are you using arch/arm64/configs/defconfig)? Is root=/dev/vda part of your kernel arguments? How is this supposed to work? When I pass the rootfs-file as the --block-device, it's supposed to see the file as the block device /dev/vda (what determines this?), mount it, and finally get devtmpfs to populate the /dev, right? The transcript from the working linux-system.axf (with raring-rootfs) looks like: [ 4.977788] vda: unknown partition table [ 4.997392] mtdoops: mtd device (mtddev=name/number) must be supplied [ 5.001787] smc91x: not found (-19).
