Hrm, works for me, I've been testing various LE kernels including a
full ubuntu distro in there, we need to debug that further. Does that
same kernel actually work on real HW ?


Ok, as we figured out, CONFIG_PPC_EARLY_DEBUG is responsible for this as it does hypercalls in the very beginning.


If I try LE disk image (ubuntu 14), it just crashes:

p/qemu-powernv/ppc64-softmmu/qemu-system-ppc64 -m 2048 -machine
powernv \

qemu: hardware error: qemu: could not load kernel'(null)'

Right, we don't load kernels from disk, you need to pass a -kernel that

Worth mentioning as well ;)

typically is the openpower bootloader (Linux + petitboot). My plan is
to make the pnv platform automatically extract these things from a ROM
image of an openpower eval board (aka palmetto) which you can build
from github. It's a bit too big to include as a binary in qemu however
(about 16M).

git submodule?

Another note. I tried to know what the default devices are and got another crash:

(qemu) info qtree

/home/aik/p/qemu-powernv/hw/core/sysbus.c:276:sysbus_dev_print: Object 0x100279e9500 is not an instance of type sys-bus-device
