If changing my kernel .config so I build a new kernel that works with the
new qemu is my only alternative, I'm happy to do that.  But I don't
currently have a working kernel .config, and don't understand why the old
one broke or how to avoid being hit by similar changes in future.

I am using the Debian kernel and it works fine, please find attached the
.config attached.

Finally got back in a position to spend some more time on this. Sorry for the
delay.

Ok, I'm trying just to boot to a command prompt with a serial console and IDE
/dev/hda.  (Or funky scsi IDE /dev/sda in a pinch.)

Your .config is for a 2.6.26 kernel and I'm building 2.6.30, so I have to run make oldconfig against it (and just hit enter on everything to take the defaults). Also, I'm not using an initramfs at the moment, so presumably anything that's in a module can go because it won't get loaded before I get a
shell prompt anyway, so I can yank anything config =m, and the module
infrastructure itself, to simplify things a bit.

That gave me the (much smaller) attached .config, which _should_ work the same as yours, I hope? Note that CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_CONSOLE is on, so I should be able to get a serial console, which is my first target: get boot messages from
this kernel.

I built a kernel using the attached .config and my existing powerpc toolchain (which built a kernel that booted under older qemu), and attempted to boot the
result under current git (28e738dcb81d):

qemu-system-ppc -M g3beige -nographic -no-reboot -kernel zImage- powerpc -hda image-powerpc.sqf -append "root=/dev/hda rw init=/usr/sbin/ init.sh
panic=1 PATH=/usr/bin console=ttyS0 "

At which point it exits and I get the prompt back.


I think using console=ttyPZ0 which is the serial port name on PowerPC
will give you more details.

Also try "-vnc :5 -serial mon:stdio" instead of -nographic.
