Any guides for installing 10.4 Tiger under QEMU on Linux?
Are there any guides for installing 10.4 Tiger under QEMU on Linux? The distro I'm using is Linux Mint 20.1 XFCE
Re: Any guides for installing 10.4 Tiger under QEMU on Linux?
Getting Qemu to run in Linux is not that different from getting it to run in macOS.
Except that you probably have the option to install it through your package manager.
In Mint, use the synaptic package manager to install:
qemu-system-ppc
Open a terminal. Create a folder named qemu:
mkdir qemu
cd qemu
and create a hard disk image to install Tiger (set the desired size first):
qemu-img create -f qcow2 -o size=10G Tiger.qcow2
Download our latest qemu-for-osx build from here:
viewtopic.php?f=34&t=8848&p=52102#p52102
Extract only the pc-bios folder and copy it into your qemu folder.
Create a text file in your qemu folder, lets say "qemu.sh". Add
qemu-system-ppc \
-L pc-bios \
-M mac99,via=pmu \
-m 512 \
-boot d \
-drive file=nameofyourtigerimage,format=raw,media=cdrom \
-drive file=Tiger.qcow2,format=qcow2,media=disk
and save the file. In the terminal make the file executable by:
chmod +x qemu.sh
Run with: ./qemu.sh (or double click qemu.sh)

1. Are you using QEMU-PPC 5.2?
2. Which hardware are you emulating? I use the G3 profile with 512MB RAM.
3. Which DVD images are you using? I've got my own 10.4.0 one that I use, but I'm pretty sure I've used the Tiger_4_6.dmg_.zip one in the past as well.

synaptic says the version is 1:4.2-3ubuntu6.12adespoton wrote: ↑Tue Feb 16, 2021 5:03 pmA few things to check:powerpcfan wrote: ↑Tue Feb 16, 2021 1:02 am I can't seem to find any working images of tiger. both dvd images I've tried won't boot. with both images both images qemu just spews "no valid state has been set by load or init program"

I'm using whatever was given to me in the script file I was told to make in the thread
I tried with "Tiger_4_6.dmg" and "Mac OS X Tiger.iso"

Re: Any guides for installing 10.4 Tiger under QEMU on Linux?
Ah; so Synaptic is providing you with QEMU 4.2, which might require a slightly different command line from 5.0 and later which is what the scripts on here are designed to work with. But your issue is that once you've booted into OpenBIOS, it's unable to find a filesystem with an appropriate TBXI EFI bootloader.
So you might want to try changing this to:
after having created a blank disk named Tiger.qcow2 of course.
Code: Select all
qemu-system-ppc \
-L pc-bios \
-M mac99,via=pmu \
-m 512 \
-boot d \
-drive file=nameofyourtigerimage,format=raw,media=cdrom \
-drive file=Tiger.qcow2,format=qcow2,media=disk
Code: Select all
qemu-system-ppc \
-L pc-bios \
-M mac99 \
-m 512 \
-boot d \
-cdrom "Mac OS X Tiger.iso"
-HDA Tiger.qcow2

I still get the same error message

The tiger cd 1 download from the macintosh garden boots just fine.
What is the content of your current qemu.sh?

Re: Any guides for installing 10.4 Tiger under QEMU on Linux?
Just an FYI, I switched to windows because I was having other issues with linux that I couldn't deal with, but here is the qemu.bat I'm using
It's the same thing from the windows guide but with the file names changed and I still get the same error.
Code: Select all
qemu-system-ppc.exe ^
-L pc-bios ^
-M mac99,via=pmu ^
-m 512 ^
-sdl ^
-boot d ^
-drive file=Mac_OS_X_Tiger.iso,format=raw,media=cdrom ^
-drive file=Tiger.qcow2,format=raw,media=disk

And both the iso and the qcow2 files are in the same folder as the exe and the script?powerpcfan wrote: ↑Wed Feb 17, 2021 10:14 pm Just an FYI, I switched to windows because I was having other issues with linux that I couldn't deal with, but here is the qemu.bat I'm using
