Mark, can you suggest me where to find the code for "PReP"? AIX needs PReP emulation to works!!!!!
I think it's a mistake. PReP was the reference platform before CHRP. PReP was a PC clone with PowerPC inside. There are PReP based sytems running AIX, and recent AIX system (RS/6000) are CHRP. CHRP is the real reference platform for PowerPC based system now. I think we should improve CHRP emulation in Qemu and its support in OpenBIOS, not PReP (except if you have time to waste).

1- System platform check.
Only CHRP systems are supported in AIX 5.2 and above. Run the following command on lower level systems to check the platform type.
# lscfg | grep Architecture Required hardware if migrating to AIX 6.1
2- Only 64-bit Common Hardware Reference Platform (CHRP) machines running selected PowerPC 970, POWER4, POWER5, and POWER6 processors that implement the POWER architecture Platform Requirements (PAPR) are supported.
