You can grab a test kernel from http://landley.net/zImage-powerpc and try booting it (out of the qemu source directory, this is assuming you've built it but haven't installed it yet) via:
ppc-softmmu/qemu-system-ppc -kernel zImage-powerpc \ -append "console=ttyS0 panic=1" -nographic -no-reboot -L pc-bios
With svn 6657, it works. (You get kernel boot messages up until it panics and dies because it can't find the root filesystem). With 6658 it dies immediately with the above error message.
Unfortunately, this means that the 0.10.0 release doesn't work for powerpc for me, but svn a couple days _before_ the release did.
That specific commit shouldn't have changed anything with respect to ppc32 emulation. The one where your command broken is the openBIOS update.
The commit I pointed to is the openbios update, yes.
Please try again without -nographic.
It does indeed work without nographic. (It doesn't do anything _useful_ for me without nographic, since I'm scripting the emulated kernel's behavior through stdin and stdout, but allowing it to pop up an SDL window does make it out of openbios and into the kernel.)
The kernel makes the equivalent of the following calls to OF interface: finddevice("/") = 0x11d5c finddevice("/chosen") = 0x1197c finddevice("/openprom") = 0x11b3c getprop(0x11b3c, "model", 0x78efeb0, 0x40) = 0xf getprop(0x11d5c, "stdout", 0x78efea0, 0x4) = 0x4 instance-to-path(0x86ea0, 0x12ad0dc, 0xff) where it crashes because memmove overwrites all memory. But where does this 0x86ea0 come from?
