Hello, I would like to help debug booting AIX with qemu-system-ppc. Here is what I have so far, please let me know what further information I should provide to aid in pinpointing where the following hang occurs:
==================================================== Booting AIX in QEMU+OpenBIOS (CPU type PowerPC,750) ====================================================
Welcome to AIX. boot image timestamp: 00:39 35/2D The current time and date: 01:10:58 04/25/2011 processor count: 1; memory size: 2047MB; kernel size:2293829 boot device: cd:\ppc\chrp\bootfile.exe [hangs here...]
After some QEMU patching I'm able to confirm this. QEMU hangs a lot on my Darwin/ppc64 host though, not just here. My Haiku/i386 guest keeps hanging for multiple seconds.
It appears there's some QEMU regression, introduced within the last four weeks. Any help bisecting/fixing would be appreciated.
