[Qemu-devel] New BIOS for Mac PPC target.

[Qemu-devel] New BIOS for Mac PPC target.

[J. Mayer]

Hello all,

I just put a new BIOS version available for Mac PPC target.

http://site.voila.fr/jmayer/OpenHackWare/index.htm

Current status: 
* NetBSD booter loads but fails: some 
   needed OF methods are missing. 
* OpenBSD booter cannot run because it's a 
   gzipped ELF file. 
* Darwin 7.01 doesn't run: unknown or 
   miss-loaded file format. 
* Darwin 6.02 and OpenDarwin 6.6.1 seem
   not to like the OF tree as it's shown. 
* Darwin 1.41 & MacOS X 10.2 boot but fail
   to read the CDROM. 
* Linux debian woody, debian 3.0-r1, gentoo
   live CDROM, gentoo install CDROM, knopix
   and Mandrake 9.1 start: yaboot is loaded
   but fails to go on. 
* MacOS 9 and log restauration CDROMs
   claim they want Apple Copyright. 
* MacOS hw check CDROM won't boot for
   now. 

Still a lot of work to do, but this version may allow MacOS X boot
process debug. I just checked that OS X 10.2 starts and stops,
complaining it can't access the CDROM.

Waiting for reports, comments, suggestions...

Dear Jocelyn,

Thanks for the update. I downloaded and installed the updated BIOS using the 
binaries available on your site.

Apparently, the BIOS displays version 0.1 and build time 2004-06-12. 
Screenshot: http://www.poure.com/screenshots/qemu_temp_16.png

The same message is displayed for MacOsX10.2, Darwin 6.02 and Darwin 7.01. 
According to your previous mail, it should be normal at this stage.

Kindest regards,
Jean-Michel

Ooops... I'm sorry.
Once again, I did a mistake:
I'm running qemu on an Athlon64 and I cross-compile for PPC in a 32 bits
chrooted environment.... I choosed the wrong files to upload (from the
64 bits env...).

I just replaced the files. Should be the right version, now.

Because the current ppc bios does not run the cdrom I tried if it would 
run my previously installed OSX 10.3 harddisk image (installed with pearpc)

It seems that it doesn't recognise the bootpartition/bootfile
In pearpc this image runs fine.

I also did another experiment.
In my working debianppc image I installed mol.
I tried to just run mol inside qemu-system-ppc
The mol kernel module seems to load ok but mol dies immediately 
afterwards with Oops: kernel access of bad area, sig: 11.
Before analysing why it goes wrong I would like to ask if you start qemu 
with qemu-system-ppc -prep -kernel vmlinuz-2.4.25  .....
Is it then still possible to load a 2.4.25 kernel module inside the 
guest or is this asking for trouble.

For completeness here is my startmol log.

PearPC bios only accepts two discs (one is 3Gb and the other 6Gbs). It seems 
that they hard-coded disc geometries, but this is not a suitable solution.

Thank you for your updated build this morning. This time, I was able to boot 
Darwin 6.02 and MacOsX 10.2 to a certain extent:

Darwin 6.02:
http://www.poure.com/screenshots/qemu_temp_17.png

MacOsX 10.2 (notice how similar the messages are):
http://www.poure.com/screenshots/qemu_temp_18.png

Darwin 7.02 (not booting as you explained before):
http://www.poure.com/screenshots/qemu_temp_19.png

The Darwin 7.02 boot problem may be a DMA problem like in the x86 version. It 
is possible that if DMA is not enabled, Darwin 7.02 will refuse to boot.

Kindest regards,
Jean-Michel

Pardon my stupid question, but why not to use the work that has been 
done with PearPC? they already boot Mac OS X...

Thanks,
