[Qemu-devel] [PPC64] P5020DS: Booting from img possible (-drive)?

[Christian Zigotzky]

|Hello,

I was able to boot a Linux kernel (uImage) with an initrd in a virtual 
P5020DS PPC64 machine with an e5500 core (QEMU 2.12.0) with the 
following command.

qemu-system-ppc64 -M ppce500 -cpu e5500 -m 2048 -initrd 
/home/christian/Downloads/slitaz25.gz -nographic -kernel 
/home/christian/Downloads/vmlinux-4.17-rc5-AmigaOne_X1000_X5000/X5000/uImage-4.17 
-net nic,vlan=0,model=e1000 -net user,vlan=0 -machine 
dt_compatible=fsl,,P5020DS -append "root=/dev/ramdisk"

It also works with the machine 'MPC8544DS':

qemu-system-ppc64 -M mpc8544ds -cpu e5500 -m 2048 -initrd 
/home/christian/Downloads/slitaz25.gz -nographic -kernel 
/home/christian/Downloads/vmlinux-4.17-rc5-AmigaOne_X1000_X5000/X5000/uImage-4.17 
-net nic,vlan=0,model=e1000 -net user,vlan=0 -machine 
dt_compatible=fsl,,P5020DS -append "root=/dev/ramdisk"

I tried to boot ubuntu MATE 16.04 LTS PowerPC from an img with the 
option '-drive' but without any success. Is it possible to boot from a 
hard disk img with a virtual P5020DS PPC64 machine? Can I use a virtual 
graphics card with this machine?

Have a nice weekend! :-)

Thanks,
Christian
