-What I will be saying ***********: <br />
The hypervisor that was chosen was QEMU because it supported the ARM architecture and was already available for Fedora. Although QEMU can be run directly from the command line, there are advantages to using the libvirt management layer provided by Fedora, such as automatic start of virtual machines when the system boots, the ability to disconnect and later reconnect to a virtual machine, and a graphical mangement and monitoring tool, libvirt.
After installing QEMU, and libvirt the ARM root file system and an xml file that contains instructions on how to install the fedora arm operating system. There was an issue involving SELinux, in order to solve this we had to HonkKong to permissive mode. After this point The virtual machine was able to boot.
