Hi I have been a QEMU user for a long time. I have not seen this error even once. Could you tell me how I can solve it?
If it is because of the codes I wrote, will you say something because it is very important for me:
Code: Select all
qemu-system-ppc.exe -M mac99 -m 512 -prom-env boot-args=-v -prom-env 'vga-ndrv?=true -boot d -drive file=macos_91_ppc.iso,format=raw,media=cdrom -drive file=MacOSX.img,format=raw,media=disk -device usb-mouse -device usb-kbd -netdev user,id=network01 -device sungem,netdev=network01

That error has been on the QEMU-PPC console since at least the beginning of OS 9 support -- I seem to recall it even on the old builds with the inverted SDL color palette. It's documented; don't worry unduly about it. There's no dedicated NVRAM partition created at this point, so the emulator properly falls back to using a space at 1400h.

It's been going too long this thing never goes away.

The problem you're having occurs after the error message; the error message is expected but the pause after the fact is the real problem. The two aren't related.
Your config line seems fine, assuming your install CD image and target image exist where listed. Are you using an OpenBIOS and VGA driver file that are compatible with your Feb 22 build of QEMU?

I assume you are trying to run a qemu build you downloaded from our forum. Then your command line has errors:
Code: Select all
qemu-system-ppc.exe -M mac99 -m 512 -prom-env boot-args=-v -prom-env 'vga-ndrv?=true -boot d -drive file=macos_91_ppc.iso,format=raw,media=cdrom -drive file=MacOSX.img,format=raw,media=disk -device usb-mouse -device usb-kbd -netdev user,id=network01 -device sungem,netdev=network01
It should be:
Code: Select all
qemu-system-ppc.exe -L pc-bios -M mac99 -m 512 -prom-env "boot-args=-v" -prom-env "vga-ndrv?=true" -boot d -drive file=macos_91_ppc.iso,format=raw,media=cdrom -drive file=MacOSX.img,format=raw,media=disk -device usb-mouse -device usb-kbd -netdev user,id=network01 -device sungem,netdev=network01
Notice the -L pc-bios to point to the pc-bios folder, and the correct "" around the -prom-env parameters.
Best,
