Hello Nathan, 

Some comments on the command line.

powernv8 or powernv9 specifies the POWER chip.

I use -nograpĥics.

you can add adapters now on QEMU-5.0:

  -device ich9-ahci,id=sata0,bus=pcie.1,addr=0x0 \
  -drive 
file=./ubuntu-ppc64le-powernv.qcow2,if=none,id=drive0,format=qcow2,cache=none \
  -device ide-hd,bus=sata0.0,unit=0,drive=drive0,id=ide,bootindex=1 \
  -device e1000e,netdev=net0,mac=C0:FF:EE:00:01:03,bus=pcie.2,addr=0x0 \
  -netdev bridge,helper=/usr/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper,br=virbr0,id=net0

you can also add :

        -drive file=./witherspoon.pnor,format=raw,if=mtd

to map a PNOR on the LPC address space.


I have sent a patch fixing the issue you reported but you will need to
add -nodefaults now. I think this is the good direction. It would be
interesting for me if you could test it.

Thanks,

C.
