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.
