OK, maybe I make a mistake. It's not a problem.
My goals is to run AIX 4.3, 5.1 and 6.1 on QEMU!!!!!.Can you help me? What you suggest?
I think there is a lot of confusion ( I also make confusion).
How I can run QEMU to "emulate" CHRP platform ?
Thanks, Ciao

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.

Laurent
