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 A binary and svn snapshot of qemu PPC BIOS (version 0.4-pre1d) is now available here: The BIOS code have been reorganized. It also include new features including a console with ADB/PC keyboard input. It includes bugfixes, including a major HFS rework, from Thayne Harbaugh & Matthew S. Wood. With this release, most PowerMac boot CDROM seem recognized. All Linux 2.4 kernel based distributions should boot. A few 2.6 ones should also boot OK. Please note that early 2.6 kernels frame-buffer drivers are broken, so some distributions may boot without any output on the console. Debug is on the way to find other known issues with 2.6 kernels (including IDE & ADB problems). Most other OSes will start booting and then crash sooner or later because of: - lack of executable file format support (OpenBSD) - buggy OF tree (NetBSD) - other unknown/not clearly identified problems (Darwin, MacOS X 10.2 & 10.3, MacOS 9). Debug is in progress to fix ISO9660 El-torito boot as well as some known bugs in executable files loaders. Note that PREP support has not been checked with this snapshot (but will be before it'll become a release). Please report any other bug, problem or success. -- J. Mayer Never organized
