Hi Alex,

 

Could you please post

  * the exact command line you were using

 ./ppc64-softmmu/qemu-system-ppc64 -machine type=pseries,usb=off -m 512 -net nic,vlan=0 -net tap -nographic -cdrom /exports/isos/SLES-11-SP2-DVD-ppc64-GM-DVD1.iso -hda /exports/sles11_sp2.qcow2 -monitor unix:/dev/tty1,nowait,server

Ah, so you're using -M mac99, which means any patch that says "pseries" shouldn't affect that VM at all.

Scratch that. -machine type=pseries obviously makes this a pseries machine.

Please still try to check if 1.2 or 1.1 work for you. Checking if disabling graphics makes things work would be interesting too.

Also -cpu 970 would be an interesting thing to try.

This fails right in the kernel  start:
