[Qemu-devel] Issues on Mac OS X (host) with qemu-system-ppc (guest)

[U n d e r a c h i e v e r]

Hi all

I've been trying to get a recent (CVS from yesterday) build of qmeu on 
Mac OS X to run a recent-ish linux distro or bsd release for powerpc.

The configure/make/make install goes well, but the binary created won't
boot debian sarge network installer iso CD image nor ubuntu nor openbsd. 
An example of the problem is shown at the end of this message.

Anyway, I noticed some patches here
http://perso.magic.fr/l_indien/qemu-ppc/tests/ppc_fixes.diff
which it is claimed will get Debian Sarge booting on qemu-system-ppc. So 
tried them on yesterday's CVS download of the source. Unfortunately, the 
patch for op_helper.c fails completely, although the others seem to 
apply OK. If you ignore this and plough on with a build, the compile fails.

I then tried the patch against the 0.6.1 tarball of the source. All the 
patches in the diff failed *except* the ob_helper.c.

So I copied the patched ob_helper.c from the tarball to the CVS sources. 
configure went OK but make failed.

It was asking too much, really, with my extremely sketchy knowledge of C 
to get that working. Hence, my problem remains, I can't seem to boot any 
ppc cdrom from qemu-system-ppc.  here's the error. Any ideas on how/if I 
can fix this?:-
