[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1639394] Re: Unable to boot Solaris 8/9 x86 under Fedora 24

[John Snow]

So, if I'm reading you right, Solaris10/11 work just fine, but 8/9 don't
-- and have not since qemu version 0.6.0!? From 2004?

I don't have a copy of Solaris9 to test with, so I doubt I can work on
trying to reproduce this. Is there any possibility to reproduce a
problem on an older, freely available BSD?

Title:
  Unable to boot Solaris 8/9 x86 under Fedora 24

Status in QEMU:
  New

Bug description:
  qemu-system-x86_64 -version

  Try several ways without success, I think it was a regression because problem 
seems to be related with ide fixed on 0.6.0:
  - int13 CDROM BIOS fix (aka Solaris x86 install CD fix)
  - int15, ah=86 BIOS fix (aka Solaris x86 hardware probe hang up fix)

  Solaris 10/11 works without a problem, also booting with "scsi" will
  circumvent initial problem, but later found problems related with
  "scsi" cdrom boot and also will not found the "ide" disk device.
