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

[John Snow]

Sorry, I don't understand.

The two fixes you mentioned were committed and released as part of
0.6.0, so does this work with QEMU version 0.6.0 or not?

If it works in 0.6.0, can you tell me the first version where it stopped
working? I assume it isn't currently working in 2.6.2, so it broke
sometime inbetween, is that correct?

I'm not sure if I am able to download a solaris iso that you've found.
However, if you are able to contributes patches upstream, I am willing
to review them.

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

Status in QEMU:
  New

Bug description:
  qemu-system-x86_64 -version
  QEMU emulator version 2.6.2 (qemu-2.6.2-4.fc24), Copyright (c) 2003-2008

  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.
