I'd like to try OSX, but I don't have a copy and haven't bugged the right person for one. Hopefully I'll get around to it, however it isn't as high of a priority as generl PPC emulation. > I am unable to look at the problem because I don't > have an easy way to recompile the Darwin kernel to insert debug > messages... and another problem is that I don't have the time :-) I might be in the same boat, unfortunately. I'm mostly hoping that if the general problems get fixed then it will be easier for someone to pursue the special case problems. If qemu/OpenHackWare can be show to be generally solid and work well for linux/ppc, then hopefully some that's motivated to have OSX or Darwin will give it a go. I'm interested to know when the patches will be applied to Qemu and OpenHackWare or when I'll get feedback regarding what needs to be done differently. Thanks.
