Can't boot into OS X 10.5 (no valid state has been set)

Post by macek »

Hi. I am trying to install OS X 10.5 using QEMU, but I can't get it to boot.
I am constantly getting this message:
"No valid state has been set by load or init-program"
I have tried to download different image, but none of 4 which I got don't work. I also downloaded 10.3 Panther from same site and it works without any problem.
I can't figure out what is wrong.

10.5 needs a slightly different hardware configuration than the others. Make sure you've got the appropriate flags:

Code: Select all

 
  -L pc-bios \
  -boot c \
  -drive file="<file.img>,format=raw,media=disk \
  -M mac99,via=pmu \
  -m 512 \
  -cpu G4 \
  -netdev user,id=vlan0 \
  -device sungem,netdev=vlan0 \
  -device VGA,edid=on \
  -g 1280x720x32
