Reply-To: qemu-devel@nongnu.org List-Id: qemu-devel.nongnu.org List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , To: qemu-devel@nongnu.org Hello, I've just managed to get from an old powerbook its linuxppc 2K=20 installation (because none of the recent distribution I've tried wanted to install with qemu (mandrake, gentoo,=20 debian and even yellow dog))... I put it on a PREP partition sheme and it's working......... what works : everything but localtime option(don't know why it doesn't work), X11=20 (by lack of configuration of fbdev I guess) it works with the PREP kernel provided on freezos what is weird : I've created the partitions on a image using the e2fs utils and=20 qemu-create... my mdk 9.2's e2fsck does not see any error on it but the (old) version=20 of linuxppc see something wrong between the physical size and the logical one (I guess it has something=20 to do with the space reserved for the ext3 journal or something) so I=20 had to link fsck and e2fsck to /bin/true (because no matter what i tried=20 (hda=3Dnowerr at boot time and stuff)) fsck was always complaining... the= =20 real one are suffixed by old.... what is sad : I'm using and old PIII 900 mhz with 512 meg of ram and I don't know why=20 but everything seems to be really slow (especially the compilation of=20 some progs), screen redraw and directory printing for example are fast=20 (really) but everything related to disk operation is slow (the loading=20 of progs, for example) I would like to try to make the img available through a ramdisk but I=20 don't have enough ram for that... what I didn't try : networking (no time yet) TODO I want to make X work (but it's really an old version) I want to make some benchmarking using the Nbyte benchmarking (one from=20 my powerbook 3400 (ppc 603e, 180mhz), one from qemu) thanks for reading it Djam=E9 ps : if someone is willing to give me a ftp access I'll be glade to=20 upload the resulting img.....
