Please send me the vmlinux.gz file in a private mail. =20=20 Perhaps it is easier to download the image I used: ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo/releases/ppc/current-iso/= install-powerpc-minimal-20101017.iso (This machine has a 10 Gbps Internet connection, but perhaps you have better connectivity to another Gentoo mirror.) > (2) For ppc64, the last lines are: >=20 > Calling quiesce ... > returning from prom_init >=20 > (Debian and Gentoo hangs at the same positions.) =20=20 This probably means that the bootloader chose to boot a ppc32 kernel on ppc64. Please try booting vmlinux and initrd directly using -kernel and -initrd. =20=20 Hmm. For Gentoo, I explicitly tried the "G5" and "ppc32" boot alternatives. For Debian, I used "install". Now I tried the better choice "install64", which comes a bit longer. It fails in a new way: it ignores keyboard input, This happens after the kernel has booted, and the installer has started. I tried this, e.g.: qemu-system-ppc64 -vnc :1 -hda new.img -cdrom /jails/shell/u/GNU/Debian/iso= /debian-506-powerpc-CD-1.iso -boot d -net nic,macaddr=3D52:54:00:12:34:59,m= odel=3De1000 -net tap,ifname=3Dtap3,script=3Dno -m 512 (I also tried without -vnc, and with less memory. Same, same.) > king$ qemu --version > QEMU emulator version 0.13.0, Copyright (c) 2003-2008 Fabrice Bellard =20=20 Please make sure to also try the latest git version. I doubt it helps on the ppc side, but sparc might benefit from it. I think this will have to wait. --=20 Torbj=F6rn
