This patch for the scsi_options seems to work fine - system boots with
the patch applied and with the line removed from /etc/system.

Mark, thank you for your hard work on this! It's very exciting!

I've built the latest openbios and qemu, but get the following error when I try and use it:

nathan@redwall:/usr/local/build/qemu$ sparc-softmmu/qemu-system-sparc -nographic -bios openbios-builtin.elf

Configuration device id QEMU version 16777216 machine id 8192
Incompatible configuration device version, freezing
QEMU: Terminated

I built openbios on a SPARC Ultra60, and QEMU on x86. Could that be the reason the version and machine ID got swapped?

Thanks,
Nathan

Gosh - that definitely looks like some kind of build error. Which 
compiler did you use? Here I cross-compile on 64-bit x86 using GCC 4.5.

I've uploaded a fresh build of SVN trunk SPARC32 OpenBIOS to 
http://www.siriusit.co.uk/tmp/openbios-sparc32 for people to experiment 
with in the window before this makes the upstream QEMU git repository.


ATB,

Mark.

I built that on opensolaris (so sparc64) with gcc 4.5.2. No cross-compiler needed, although the config script thinks I'm using one.

Thank you for posting the link. That image does load, which is better than I managed, but somehow isn't seeing my solaris 9 cd or iso. BTW, QEMU crashes nicely when you boot from an empty cd device.

Next I'm trying to compare what you built with my image as I'm not sure how those values are getting byte-swapped.

Thanks,
Nathan

Ah that will probably be the problem - config/script/switch-arch 
contains the logic which detects how 
NATIVE_BITWIDTH_EQUALS_HOST_BITWIDTH and SWAP_ENDIANNESS should be set 
and adds them to CFLAGS in Makefile.target as appropriate.

Strange. Can you show us the command line you are using? From your 
previous email:

nathan@redwall:/usr/local/build/qemu$ sparc-softmmu/qemu-system-sparc 
-nographic -bios openbios-builtin.elf

You are definitely missing the "-boot d" option to force boot from 
cdrom, although this is just a guess as you have shown us any error 
messages :(

OK. I'll start looking to see how to change that for by build environment.

Oops; it seemed obvious when I wrote it. The trick is that the cd device 
is empty, or is full of 0. Running your sparc32 image:

sd0: type=floppy removable=1 locked=0 [not inserted]

Looking at it again, OpenBIOS is bombing out rather than QEMU. I found 
this by accident trying to get the right path to my host cdrom drive. 
So, '-boot d -cdrom /dev/null' on the command line produces the same 
error at the same place. I'm not sure why a zero device would cause this 
when a missing hard disk does not.

Hard drive full of 0:
nathan@fangorn:/usr/local/build/qemu$ sparc-softmmu/qemu-system-sparc 
-nographic -bios  openbios-sparc32-mark  -hda /dev/null

But you're still missing "-boot d" on the command line so it won't 
default to the cdrom. If you want to boot from the cdrom using the 
OpenBIOS command line manually, you also need to give the slice (d) and 
so the command you need is:

boot cdrom:d


HTH,

Mark.

/bin/sh, the default choice if you just run switch-arch, on OpenSolaris 
is ksh93, which silently fails on the $...bigendian tests. If I run 
switch-arch with /usr/xpg4/bin/sh or bash, it works fine and my builds 
from x86 and sparc are now correct and load. It looks like testing for 
$KSH_VERSION would be a way to find out if the shell isn't going to 
work, but I don't know if this would come up enough to warrant adding 
logic to check it.

Thanks,
Nathan

Maybe we have a bashism somewhere (should be fixed), or more likely
since ksh93 is not fully Posix compatible, we use some Posix features
which are not implemented by ksh93 (maybe avoidable). Please send
again the output from sh -x for the bigendian test.

Confirmed; this produces the correct result with /bin/sh (ksh93), bash, 
and /usr/xpg4/bin/sh.

Have you tried separating the declaration and the definition. i.e.:

local host
host=$1

IIRC there are sometimes issues when you combine the two.

Yes, I have tried that. Korn Shell '93 (ksh93) does not include the builtin "local", that is bash/zsh-specific:

Also there really is no need to rename the variables from host and target because they're not used for any unrelated purposes elsewhere in switch-arch.

The patch I had submitted is valid.

It looks like 'local' is a non-standard extension:

Description: removes the non-standard "local" keyword from within the crosscflags() function. This was not necessary since the variables "host" and "target" were not clobbered anywhere outside of the function, but the real motivation is to support shells such as ksh93 that do not have the "local" builtin like bash.

This was not necessary since the variables "host" and "target" were not clobbered anywhere outside of the function, but the real motivation is to support shells such as ksh93 that do not have the "local" builtin like bash.

Thanks, applied.

In the future, please submit the patches separately without the
previous discussions. The idea is that it should be possible to use
'git am' without editing the message at all and the result should look
like a proper commit with a subject line and commit description.

Solaris anyone? Q2

[Brian Vandenberg]

I've been trying to get solaris 8 to install, but I've been running
into problems.

  After creating/formatting a disk in single-user mode, I reboot and
start the install.  It copies the installer to /dev/c0t0d0s1 and
reboots.  On startup, it gets to "Running in command line mode" then
seems to endlessly do nothing.

  Is how long should I wait before I can safely assume it isn't going
to continue/succeed?

  For reference, I'm running qemu with:

./qemu-system-sparc -cdrom solaris8_install.iso -nographic -prom-env
'auto-boot?=false' -m 256 -L . -bios openbios-sparc32_artyom.bin -hda
/scratch/qemu-images/solaris2.8.qcow2

  ... and booting with:

boot disk0:b

  Usually I use the -v, but I forgot it for the current attempt.
Unfortunately, I can't copy logs over from the airgapped network, but
if needs be I can manually type up relevant portions.

  I'm unsure whether it would help, but when I attempt to install with
the SS-5 bios image I get the following:

(...)
SunOS Release 5.8 Versio nGeneric_108528-29 32-bit
Copyright 1983-2003 Sun Microsystems, Inc.  All rights reserved.
Cannot assemble drivers for root
/iommu@0,10000000/sbus@0,10001000/espdma@5,84000000/esp@5,88000000/sd@0,0:b

fstype ufs

panic[cpu0]/thread=f0244020: vfs_mountroot: cannot mount root

(...)

  ... which is followed by 4 lines of stuff that looks somewhat like a
stack dump.

  So, I suppose what I'm looking for is: how patient should I be
before I decide that the installation with openbios won't succeed?

Once you get "cannot assemble drivers for root", it's over. That error 
is fatal. A few lines later you see a panic "vfs_mountroot: cannot mount 
root" which is the normal endpoint for driver/hardware mismatch.

And I just failed the reading comprehension test. Sorry, that was not 
the case you were asking about:

I can't directly answer the "how long" question, but the above seems to 
indicate that you might have your console directed to somewhere 
unexpected. Are you expecting the output to come to the video console or 
the serial port? Be aware that Solaris doesn't always make the same 
decision OBP does on this.

hrm.  Any pointers/tips on how to proceed?

  If I'm able to get it to the "Running in command line mode" point
with openbios, and it seems to hang there, is this just silently
having related problems or do I just need to wait longer?

This happens to work because variable $target (used in some for loops)
is not used after the call to crosscflags. It's a bit fragile though.
Considering the various uses of $target, I'd rename $host to $host_cpu
and $target to $target_cpu in crosscflags.

What does 'uname -m' report on your machine? We only check for
sun4u/sparc64 or sparc/sparc32.

I'm not sure if that is the best way to get it to use the native compiler. I can't think of a reason my sparc64 build tools couldn't build the sparc32 image.

This actually happens with OpenBSD/sparc64, the compiler can't produce
32 bit binaries at all:
$ gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/sparc64-unknown-openbsd4.8/4.2.1/specs
Target: sparc64-unknown-openbsd4.8
Configured with: OpenBSD/sparc64 system compiler
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.2.1 20070719
$ touch empty.c
$ gcc -m32 -c empty.c
empty.c:1: error: -m32 is not supported by this configuration

But I think that this is not so common setup. So we should add logic
for trying -m32 or -m64 if the host has a compatible CPU except for
word size, or a cross compiler for wrong word size is found.

Solaris anyone?

That's great - thanks for testing!
