From 1d1f94b944161a0db78985b8f58da0828d68ce71 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephano Cetola Date: Thu, 22 Sep 2016 18:25:08 -0700 Subject: scripts/runqemu: provide better error message on runqemu ifup fail If runqemu-ifup fails hen running testimage, a rather cryptic error regarding "no tty present" is displayed. If this step fails, we should at least point the user at runqemu-gen-tapdevs. A quick search of this term in the manual will lead them to "Enabling Runtime Tests on QEMU" which should give them all the info they need.
