How to start subiquity in qemu on ARM64?

Multi tool use
I would like to run the Ubuntu installer in qemu. I have used the kernel from the respective Ubuntu CD images and have verified my command line using the AMD64 architecture:
$ qemu-system-x86_64 --version
QEMU emulator version 2.5.0 ..
$ isoinfo -R -x "/install/vmlinuz" -i bionic-server-amd64.iso >linux
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -nodefaults -nographic -kernel linux
-serial stdio -append "console=ttyS0"
-machine pc -cpu qemu64 -m 1G
[ 0.0000000] Linux version 4.15.0-44-generic ..
However, when I try the same thing for ARM64 architecture (not my host arch):
$ qemu-system-aarch64 --version
QEMU emulator version 2.5.0 ..
$ isoinfo -R -x "/install/vmlinuz" -i bionic-server-arm64.iso >linux
$ qemu-system-aarch64 -nodefaults -nographic -kernel linux
-serial stdio -append "console=ttyAMA0"
-machine virt -cpu cortex-a53 -m 1G
I get zero output at 100% cpu usage. How can i determine what went wrong?
Executing with -d unimp -D debug.log
reveals:

Don't you always need to set -M and prepare a pflash and such for arm64, like described here ?

is just a deprecated Alias for-machine
(which i did use), and-kernel
an arch independent shortcut for "put this into ram and jump to it" (which should circumvent all issues from bootloader/EFI)

Just upgrade your system.
Both AMD64 and ARM64 kernels start exactly as attempted in question using QEMU emulator version 3.1.0
Note that the command line is not exactly the same though, console=ttyS0
translates to console=ttyAMA0
on ARM. To really start subiquity, add -initrd initrd -cdrom bionic-server-arm64.iso
- extract using
isoinfo -R -x "/install/initrd.gz" -i bionic-server-arm64.iso >initrd
(verify results - isoinfo will not fail verbosely) - loading from ISO will be slow, adding virtio & more cores may result in significant speedup
- when adding a preseed file, note the cdrom mount location, e.g.
file=/cdrom/preseed/example.seed
