Hello,
As mentioned on qemu-devel, sparc32 softmmu is no longer booting on
OSX/ppc host. This applies to both harddisk and DVD images, all Debian
Etch. It hangs after "Booting file ... with parameters ''
Trying ..." (before "Not a bootable ELF image").
These are the results of my bisection:
r482 (QEMU r6962) nope
r479 (QEMU r6777) nope
1.0 (QEMU r6658 + 9794f74f9c1dd0fbef30ded9e5c14c28a6fa579b) nope
??? (QEMU r6563 + 9794f74f9c1dd0fbef30ded9e5c14c28a6fa579b) nope
??? (QEMU r6273 + e58ffeb322e2ef88cc23e9505366418bf793316d w/ --
disable-aio) works
r237 (QEMU r5262) works
Has anyone recently been successful booting on ppc, could this be some
endianness issue? It works fine on OpenSolaris/amd64 host.
Thanks,
Andreas
