How do we normally verify linux-next tree? I wanted to work on linux-next but I am facing some issues. I could able to build linux-next for both x86 and arm, but I could not verify it on any machine. Currently I don't have a real Linux PC to boot with linux-next kernel. So I am trying to find alternative ways, like using the virtual box or qemu-arm. 1) For Oracle virtual box 5.1.26 with ubuntu-32 bit, the linux-next kernel is not booting. 2) For qemu-arm (versatilepb), I am able to build the kernel, but I could not figure out which rootfs to use with it. I tried creating minimal rootfs using busybox, but it does not contain enough interface. I am not able to open multiple terminal and also could not setup ssh to access it using PUTTY. So, if you know of any better rootfs to use with qemu-arm please let me know. Or, if you know of any better option to use linux-next please tell me. It will be really helpful. Thank You!
