[Qemu-devel] Mac as Host

I am wondering if Apple's switch over to Intel will make it easier or harder
to use a Mac as host using qemu? Also, what about the Mac OS's as guest?

Any thought?

That is misinformation and incomplete.

Mac OS X x86 previous of 10.4.4 CANNOT RUN inside qemu because lack  
of full SSE3 instructions and TPM module (it can run CRACKED inside  
qemu, as shown in the forum. 10.4.1 works but 10.4.3 not for unknown  
reason)
Mac OS X x86 10.4.4 (retail and public x86 version) CANNOT RUN inside  
qemu because qemu emulates a PC (BIOS architecture) and Mac OS X  
expects an EFI (sure there will be some more problems) architecture.
qemu cannot run in Mac OS X x86 because qemu doesn't compile right  
with GCC 4.0 (previous versions do not create Mac OS X x86 binaries).

I guess if anyone know's enough about EFI then qemu could emulate it. That
would be a step in the direction of having Mac OS 10.4 X86 running, but
would not, most likely, be the whole enchilada. Irrespective of whether or
not Mac OS 10.4 X86 will run, I'm sure there will be a good few linux distro
producers who would appreciate a software emulation of the EFI platform.
