Not sure what the issue is, seems to be related to the CUDA restart on power loss, I can boot the install dvd fine and install, but I have issues booting the HD after install. I was able to boot once, and everything works fine, but now the system won't boot again.

I added my cpu to /qemu/target/ppc/cpu-models.c

POWERPC_DEF("7457a_v1.5", CPU_POWERPC_74x7A_v15, 7455,
"PowerPC 7457A v1.5 (G4)")

And added /qemu/target/ppc/cpu-models.h

CPU_POWERPC_74x7A_v15 = 0x80030105, /* aka D: 1.5 */

Now -cpu host works, but the system hangs at bootX

Can't seem to boot Ubuntu Mate 16.04 CD ether just hangs while loading the

bootinfo.txt, booting with -nographic loads yaboot, but boot seems to hang while creating the ramdisk.

Booting OS X Tiger with kvm and cpu 7410 hangs:

Unless someone else is aware, you might need to bisect this. Perhaps post the above output along with compiler and version to qemu-devel as it could easily have been introduced via a non-PPC patch?

I think this was something I did, rather than a patch, unless someone removed -wl or some such from the LDFLAGS. At any rate, I moved from Debian 8.10 to Ubuntu Mate 16.04 LTS, and I no longer get link errors from the master.

Also, it seems with KVM I can't use -cpu host with qemu-system-ppc or qemu-system-ppc64, I've read a few people on the web where able to use this, but it doesn't work for me on a Powerbook G4 with Debian 8.10 host, with kernel 4.14.13.
qemu-system-ppc64: unable to find CPU model 'host'
qemu-system-ppc: unable to find CPU model 'host'
Not sure if something changed from older verssions, or I need to add something to ./configure to get -cpu host to work?

Perhaps one of the PPC guys can confirm how/why this has changed?

Maybe it never worked on 32bit hosts, the only reports I read were on a G5 host with qemu-system-ppc64, and one on a pseries CPU. I only have 32bit PowerPC CPU to test with, I’ll revise it when I pick up a G5.

Also, using -cpu G4 or -cpu 7410, -cpu G3, -cpu 604, with --enable-kvm results in this when booting the Mac OS 9.2.2 Retail CD:

With --enable-kvm qemu-system-ppc can boot Mac OS X Panther v10.3.0 CD, but installing fails. With Mac OS X Triger 10.4.x it boots and installs, but the install seems to get corrupted. Seems an issue with disk corruption with kvm enabled?
Even when I just use emulation of the G4, without kvm, system won't boot to the 10.3 installer.

Is this under qemu-system-ppc or qemu-system-ppc64? I'm presuming the former. Regarding the G4 CPU I'm not sure whether that's a compatible setup for the given MacOS version and ROM, but someone else would need to confirm…

Yes, my host CPU is a 7447a, so it’s not really supported in the Mac OS Rom, I’ll do a little hacking and see…..

Seems there is some bad reversion going on in the latest builds from the master as far as Linux PPC 32bit hosts.

I remember when Alex did the initial MacOS X work back around 2015 he seemed confident that things were working well then, so it might be that you need to go back a few years to see where things started to go amiss.

Regarding OS 9 IIRC the issue there was related to KVM not supporting the correct MMU modes (which is likely given that the new MMU index code tended to break OS 9 as it was being developed) so that might require some kernel work.

Given that very few people have access to your hardware there's a fair chance that you'll need to do quite a bit of the investigation work yourself, but there are people around who can point you in the right direction.

Thanks Mark, likely not much of this was ever tested on 32bit CPU’s, I’ll see if I can debug it.

ATB,

Mark.

Ok, I got Tiger to install and boot by doing a little hacking in the command line in Openbios, but I have to use the -cpu 7410 command then:

>0 dev /cpus/@0

>0 80030105 encode-int “ cpu-version” property

>0 “ PowerPC,G4” encode-string “ model” property

This seems to be the most stable, I did a little hacking to Openbios and added support for the 7447a cpu, but BootX just hangs forever, so it seems 7447a support is incomplete in Qemu-PPC.

So I have a few question:

What do we need to do to get the 7447a working?

Where is the -cpu host support in Qemu-PPC, meaning what file or files do I need to edit to add support for this in 32bit binaries?

I’m just assuming that as I’ve read reports that this works for people when they build 64bit bianaries of qemu-system-ppc and emu-system-ppc64 that for some reason the code for KVM cpu host support just isn’t building into the 32bit binaries.
