[Qemu-devel] Issues on Mac OS X (host) with qemu-system-ppc (guest)

[U n d e r a c h i e v e r]

Hi all

I've been trying to get a recent (CVS from yesterday) build of qmeu on 
Mac OS X to run a recent-ish linux distro or bsd release for powerpc.

The configure/make/make install goes well, but the binary created won't
boot debian sarge network installer iso CD image nor ubuntu nor openbsd. 
An example of the problem is shown at the end of this message.

Anyway, I noticed some patches here
http://perso.magic.fr/l_indien/qemu-ppc/tests/ppc_fixes.diff
which it is claimed will get Debian Sarge booting on qemu-system-ppc. So 
tried them on yesterday's CVS download of the source. Unfortunately, the 
patch for op_helper.c fails completely, although the others seem to 
apply OK. If you ignore this and plough on with a build, the compile fails.

I then tried the patch against the 0.6.1 tarball of the source. All the 
patches in the diff failed *except* the ob_helper.c.

So I copied the patched ob_helper.c from the tarball to the CVS sources. 
configure went OK but make failed.

It was asking too much, really, with my extremely sketchy knowledge of C 
to get that working. Hence, my problem remains, I can't seem to boot any 
ppc cdrom from qemu-system-ppc.  here's the error. Any ideas on how/if I 
can fix this?:-

You didn't fully read the page. It says:
"This, used with latest OpenHack'Ware preview, allow one to install
Debian Sarge."
Then you have to use the OpenHack'Ware preview from here:
<http://perso.magic.fr/l_indien/OpenHackWare/index.htm#downloading>

Note that the patch was against current CVS (that is CVS at the date of
03 march) and have been integrated in current CVS now.
OK, then I should remove it, now...
Please do a checkout from qemu CVS, use Open Hack'Ware 0.4, then you'll
be OK to start testing.

Please report if this you still have problems when doing this way. As I
never tested it on a Mac OS X host, there may be some ugly issues (but I
hope not...).

Regards.

And the results are promising... here's the Sarge net install CD booting 
with "no graphics"... but there's lots of errors and it doesn't progress 
beyond "initialising fake screen".

On a graphical install, I get as far as the language selection screen, 
but cannot select anything or navigate around the list of languages.

thanks very

Welcome to Debian GNU/Linux sarge!

This is a Debian installation CDROM,
built on 20050322.

The default option is 'install'. For maximum
control, you can use the 'expert' option.

If the system fails to boot at all (the typical
symptom is a white screen which doesn't go away),
use 'install video=ofonly' or 'expert video=ofonly'.

The plain options are for the powerpc family of
processors (from 601 to G4). The *-power3 options
are for IBM Power3 boxes, and the *-power4 options
are for IBM Power4 and Apple G5 boxes. Press the tab
key for a list of options, or type 'help' for help.

************************************
If in doubt, just choose 'install', and if that
doesn't work, try 'install video=ofonly'.

That's quite normal, as the standard Mac kernels don't include PC serial
port support and there is no Mac serial port emulation in qemu. Then,
with no graphics, you get no Linux console...

This means, I think, that the Mac/Mac OS keyboard layout for qemu is
broken.
It works well on a PC, so it seems that it's a bug in the qemu MacOS X
port.
I never have used qemu under MacOS X, so I can't really help you on this
point.
I may do those tests someday, but, as many ones, I've got a lack of
spare time...
