 Hi Mark,

today, I noticed that the Sparc64 image from the QEMU advent calendar
2018 does not work anymore with the recent QEMU:

 https://www.qemu-advent-calendar.org/2018/download/day23.tar.xz

The Linux kernel now crashes during the boot process.

Bisecting the issues pointed to:

 commit e9deadb1c10351213845428de7591931f790f111
 Update OpenBIOS images to 3464681b built from submodule.

Do you maybe have an idea what might be going wrong here?

 Thomas

Thanks - I wasn't aware of any issues there, but I'll see if I can dig a bit further
into this. From a quick glance I suspect it's most likely the commits immediately
below the one above to mark the memory used by -kernel and -initrd in use, but these
were added to make sure that we didn't accidentally claim from the memory containing
the kernel/initrd...


ATB,

Mark.
