Re: GSOC qemu Boot Mac OS >= 8.5 on PowerPC system

Hi,

Two new Qemu builds are available, one for OSX (mountain lion and upwards) and one for Windows.

Thanks!
One question, can ...

Re: GSOC qemu Boot Mac OS >= 8.5 on PowerPC system

That is encouraging news, indeed. I do notice that raidenii's screenshot shows that 9.2 isn't crashing on OpenTransport during boot-up (or so it seems), but on the PC Exchange control panel. Once the mouse control is fixed for Windows systems, I'd like to extensively test 9.2 out for QEMU.

I ...

Re: GSOC qemu Boot Mac OS >= 8.5 on PowerPC system

PS: When booting from hard drive (9.2.1 installed from CD and 9.2.2 patch applied before reboot), Mac OS throws an system extension error.


That looks like exactly the same error I used to see before the macio DMA invalidation bugfix - I wonder if this is some kind of disk corruption? Are you ...

Re: GSOC qemu Boot Mac OS >= 8.5 on PowerPC system



As a starting point, can you provide the git hash of the last "good" checkout you had on 15th July, and also double-check that the bug definitely doesn't occur then? (git reflog may help here). I can then have a look through the changelog to see if I can spot anything relevant to help narrow it ...

Re: GSOC qemu Boot Mac OS >= 8.5 on PowerPC system


Aha now that is *very* useful information. Can you do a "git bisect" to identify the offending commit?

Actually: dgibson's branch has now been merged into git master, so can you try vanilla git master with a custom OpenBIOS first just in case dgibson's branch was out of date? If that still hangs ...

It has hung there for two hours... I got some disk errors dialog yesterday.

Another try:

Re: GSOC qemu Boot Mac OS >= 8.5 on PowerPC system


I tried my 32-bit build and still stuck at the same NVRAM message. It was compiled from David Gibson's github source this morning. Is this message normal (that I should just wait) or that indicates either image or QEMU itself is wrong?

Also, Stefan released a new version yesterday, which ...

Re: GSOC qemu Boot Mac OS >= 8.5 on PowerPC system

More an expression of my incompetence. The 32 and 64 bit windows builds by Stefan Weil (https://qemu.weilnetz.de/) do work ;-)

Did you replace the openbios-ppc image in his package? Also, I do think that my images are probably not good - I downloaded them from BetaArchive which I ...

Re: GSOC qemu Boot Mac OS >= 8.5 on PowerPC system

I never got the 64 bit build to work.

I use:
./configure --cross-prefix=i686-w64-mingw32- --target-list="ppc-softmmu ppc64-softmmu"

But this gave me a whole list of errors (on the dgibson 2-7pre branch) such as this:
hw/misc/macio/mac_dbdma.c: In function 'dbdma_cmdptr_load':

Anyone tried to use Windows as host? I tried the latest sources from both official QEMU git and the one by David Gibson, and cross-compiled it for Windows x64 under Fedora 24, used the patched OpenBIOS image from Cat_7's package, however I still cannot boot the installer, neither with 9.2 or 9.2.2 ...
