qemu commands are very simple and basic:

qemu-system-ppc -k it -m 1024 -boot d -hda disk.qcow2 -cdrom cdrom.iso

or

qemu-system-ppc64 -k it -m 1024 -boot d -hda disk.qcow2 -cdrom cdrom.iso


This evening I will post the test for OSs with old (r828) revision of openbios inside qemu.

Here is the lists of operating systems that I'm able and not able to run on QEMU PPC:

- DEBIAN 5.0.5 PPC it works
- OPENSUSE 11.1 PPC it works

- FreeBSD 8.1 PPC hangs (see below details)
- NETBSD 5.0.2 PPC and PPC64 does not load with defaults (see below details)
- SLES 11 SP1 PPC does not load with defaults (see below details)
- AIX 4.3.3, 5.1 and 6.1 do not load (see below details)


Some time ago I remember that the "working" OSs  was more that now :-(

Oh this is very interesting. Could you re-post with the full qemu command lines for each OS for other people to replicate? Also, if things do get further with revisions before r828, could you indicate these too so we can see which ones of these are indeed regressions?


Many thanks,

Mark.
