[OpenBIOS] latest SVN doesn't boot -kernel on PPC

[Alexander Graf]

Hi guys,

I just tried to build the current SVN checkout (852) and apparently something tried to boot from CD-ROM which fails when I use the -kernel option.

agraf at lychee:/home/agraf/release/qemu> ./ppc64-softmmu/qemu-system-ppc64 -kernel /home/agraf/release/kvm/vmlinux -initrd /boot/initrd -append "console=ttyPZ0 root=/dev/hda3" -nographic -snapshot /SLES11/debian_lenny_powerpc_small.qcow -L ~/ppc64/bios -enable-kvm -m 512 Could not open option rom 'vgabios.bin': No such file or directory
Could not open option rom 'pxe-ne2k_pci.bin': No such file or directory

If additionally I pass in a CD-ROM image, everything is fine:

agraf at lychee:/home/agraf/release/qemu> ./ppc64-softmmu/qemu-system-ppc64 -kernel /home/agraf/release/kvm/vmlinux -initrd /boot/initrd -append "console=ttyPZ0 root=/dev/hda3" -nographic -snapshot /SLES11/debian_lenny_powerpc_small.qcow -L ~/ppc64/bios -enable-kvm -m 512 -cdrom /SLES11/debian_etch_powerpc_small.qcow

Does anyone have an idea what's going on?
