Qemu 3.1.0 Sparc still does'nt boot Solaris 8 for SS-20

openbios support for netboot? (qemu-system-sparc32/solaris)
by Joe Dery Dec. 22, 2018

Dec. 22, 2018

Intrepid openBIOS developers, Though not new news, thank you for providing an openBIOS that is able to boot solaris in qemu-system-sparc32! While I am able to disk boot (with qcow2 image containing ufs filesystems), but would prefer to serve as much of my guest filesystem from NFS as possible. Netboot allows a 'diskless' system, so that is the most extreme case, but I'm open to other suggestions. Does OpenBIOS 1.1 (eg the snapshot attached to QEMU GIT HEAD as of last Friday) support boot net:rarp, boot net:dhcp, or any other more manual method of providing the kernel&parameters? I haven't been able to find this in the documentation or code so I imagine it does not. PS - FWIW this is the command line I am presently using for a 'disk0' boot. Note that the tftp/bootfile do not do anything, but I included them as an example based on the other qemu documentation. qemu/sparc-softmmu/qemu-system-sparc \ -net nic,macaddr=00:03:BA:04:A5:AD -net user,hostfwd=tcp::8023-:23,hostfwd=tcp::5911-:5911,tftp=/tftpboot,bootfile=inetboot.sun4m \ -hda sol8_36G.disk.install \ -nographic -serial telnet:0.0.0.0:3000,server \ -m 256 PPS Mark Cave-Ayland, it appears you're active on this list. Thanks again for your help (now years ago!) fixing the MUTEX_HELD & related problems in 2.6.... the current GIT still runs clean. I have not really worked with QEMU since ~2.6, around that time I picked up a SunBlade 1000, which is supported by the old kernel I need, and is able to run the (mostly CC compile) workloads an order of magnitude faster. QEMU remains interesting for applications requiring less performance, e.g. lmgrd license server.

SVN to github migration
by BALATON Zoltan Dec. 9, 2018

Dec. 9, 2018

Hello, The links on the pages https://www.openfirmware.org/Open_Firmware https://www.openfirmware.org/SmartFirmware https://www.openfirmware.org/OpenBOOT seem to be broken since the SVN to github migration. I think these are now at https://github.com/openbios but the above pages should also be updated to point to there instead. Thank you, BALATON Zoltan

Need help : sparc64 ULTRA5 under Solaris 7 64 bits
by BALARD Arnaud Dec. 7, 2018

Dec. 7, 2018

Bonjour, je vous envoie un mail car j'essaie de virtualiser une machine ULTRA5 sous solaris 7 en 64 bits. j'ai réussi à démarrer sur un cd solaris 7 32bits pour restaurer les partitions sur mon disque virtuel (ufsrestore). Quand j'essaie de démarrer avec qemu-system-sparc64 j'obtiens l'erreur "no valid state has been set by load or init-program" dans le prompt qemu "Not linux kernel image, Not a bootable ELF image, Not a bootable a.out image, Not a bootable FCode image" au bout d'un certain nombre de test ma dernière commande ressemble à ca : sparc64-softmmu#./qemu-system-sparc64 -M sun4u -bios /usr/local/share/qemu/openbios-sparc64 -m 256 -drive file=/home/qemu/QEMU_SRV/SRV.qcow2 -prom-env "auto-boot?=flase" Je vois bien mon disque présent sur /pci@1fe,0/pci@1,1/ide@3/ide@0/disk@0 est-t 'il possible de virtualiser une machine ultra5 sous solaris 7 64bits ? La barrière de ma machine réel ressemble à ca : Sun Ultra 5/10 UPA/PCI (UltraSPARC-IIi 400MHz),OpenBoot 3.25 256 MB.... J'ai entendu parler de ce patch : https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9175879/ ou est-ce qu'il y a une configuration à faire dans sparc64-softmmu ? Je ne sais pas si il peut m'aider à trouver mon bonheur. Dans l'attente de votre réponse, merci. **************************************************************************************************************************************************************** Hello, I send you an email because I try to virtualize an ULTRA5 machine under solaris 7 in 64 bits.
