To boot AIX6.1, you must emulate a CHRP with at least a POWER4.
Moreover, AIX6.1 needs the hypervisor support in OpenFirmware (which is not the case of OpenBIOS).

This should be corrected in OpenBIOS HEAD SVN repository.

Lauren,
Please be cognizant of the fact that yesterday was the first time I
downloaded, compiled, and ever tried QEMU, so I apologize for the
"ID-10T" questions.
BUG 1:
When you say that booting AIX 6.1 impels the requisite of emulating a
"CHRP with at least a POWER4"", are you saying QEMU cannot do this, or
I need to assert different command line arguments?
What requisites would booting AIX 5.3 impel?
My goal would be to try to have access to both via an emulated
environment, if possible.
If the OpenBIOS will not work, what BIOS would work?
BUG 2:
How do I get the OpenBIOS updates and integrate them into recompiling
QEMU, or can I just somehow get a compiled update of OpenBIOS and drop
it in the correct QEMU directory?
I am not too familiar with SVN or its command structure either.
V/R,
Stuart

Are you saying you fixed or this is a bug or what? I am confused by your

This IS a bug.
Indeed, that's the first of all bugs/lack-of-feature trying to boot AIX:
PReP machine emulation is broken, with IRQ conflicts in the ISA bus.
OpenBIOS is not recognizing the PReP boot scheme (MBR partition, /ppc/
bootfile.txt)
Tested using G3 Beige machine:
Indicating boot /pci/pci-ata/ata-1/cdrom:1,\ppc\bootfile.txt does
nothing
Indicating boot /pci/pci-ata/ata-1/cdrom:,\ppc\bootfile.txt loads the
file, says ok, no booting.
Indicating boot /pci/pci-ata/ata-1/cdrom:,\ppc\chrp\bootfile.exe (the
real kernel) loads the file (takes longer), says ok, no booting.
Indicating -kernel bootfile.exe, qemu ABORTS execution inmediately.
So these are the bugs preventing AIX from being emulated as for
today's GIT.

This bug ("1MB BIOS") has nothing to do with the code he's trying to run:
it's ppc_prep.c refusing to work with openbios.

Qemu emulate a CHRP but the Apple implementation, I don't know if AIX is able to manage it. I don't think Qemu emulates POWER4.
So I don't think you can run AIX6.1 with Qemu.

At least POWER3, I think.

AIX can INDEED boot from PowerPC.
Versions and so it depends.
AIX can also boot from PReP hardware, and PReP is emulated under QEMU.
If you need testing I have AIX from 4.1 to 6.1.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PReP
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Hardware_Reference_Platform
CHRP was intended to be the sucessor of PReP but mostly did not have a
lot of machines.
Even the Macintosh Server (that used AIX) was a PReP machine.
Power Macintosh can be seen as a derivate of CHRP, and BeBox are
indeed no more than a PReP machine with a specific firmware.

OK, could you test the latest qemu source with AIX 5.3 and 6.1? If
you're successful, could you post your boot options?

Give me a day for the testings.
Anyway the problem it had long ago was not about the hardware, just
the OHW's OF implementation not interpreting the PReP boot partition.
The CD I tested has a MBR partition table indicating a bootable
partition (the PReP-way) but the firmware simply did not found a
bootable device.

Thanks for getting back to me, and copying me on these emails.

Certainly! AIX 5.3 and 6.1 are truly the OS variants I am interested in, and
I'd be preferential to booting up in a manner that provisions the greatest
level of processor emulation at the highest hardware level functional.

I do not know what "OHW" or "OF" means, are they both referring to the
OpenBIOS?

The CD I tested (as far as I know, I'll check if you tell me how) is an
original IBM CD that would be booted on a 520 or the like type of server.
If you do get this to work, please do post in the most verbose and explicit
manner the steps you took, as I am brand new to using QEMU.
Thanks for all your time and consideration.

As much as I can, as the QEMU's Official OS Support List maintainer :D

PReP, CHRP, PowerMacintosh, Pegasos, AmigaONE, and almost all PowerPC
computers used OpenFirmware (OF for friends) as the "bios".
OHW is OpenHackWare, was the OF implementation used by QEMU long ago,
created by Jocelyn.
OpenBIOS is just another, more complete, OF implementation, the one
currently in use by QEMU.

Maybe I have the same dump, could you send me via private email a SHA1
checksum of yours?

To whom it shall concern,
I have absolutely no time for mailing lists or to spend much time on
this other than to report the bug, so please understand I am just here
to report this, and have little time for continued testing of it. I
leave that to you, the developers.
I ran into two different bugs attempting to try QEMU 0.11, under
CentOS 5.3 64bit (fully updated), QEMU compiled from source
flawlessly, while under under VirtualBox on a Lenvo T400 laptop.
My goal was to try to boot an AIX CDROM from QEMU 0.11 (AIX 6.1), I
never got that far due to these bugs.
Bug #1:
It seems to complain about some 1MB BIOS file being missing or
dysfunctional, really I did not see any BIOS files that big, so, I
gave up with this type of boot. Then I tried below, "Bug #2", met with
more problems, so I gave up entirely as I had no more time to play
with it.
