[Qemu-devel] Sparc32 network problems

[Andreas Färber]

Hello,

I have recently upgraded from Q/qemu 0.9.0 to qemu CVS HEAD and the  
sparc32 Lance NIC appears to no longer work correctly.

Using Q 0.9.0d88 on a Mac OS X i386 host I was able to boot into  
debian-40r0-sparc-netinst.iso with qemu-system-sparc, have the NIC  
configured through DHCP and install to about 73% where I repeatedly  
got a kernel panic "Aiee".

CVS HEAD was configured on OS X ppc using no special options (-- 
prefix=... --target-list=sparc-softmmu). When I boot into the above  
installation disc, it does boot on ppc now but DHCP does not work  
(could not test on i386 yet due to Q's OS X patches failing against  
CVS HEAD). If I configure the network manually it displays an error  
but I am able to complete the base installation. This system then  
prints the following on startup:
...
Cleaning up ifupdown....
Loading kernel modules...loop: loaded (max 8 devices)

LANCE unopened after 100 ticks, csr0=0032.

Messages similar to the latter are also displayed when I try to ifup  
eth0:

LANCE unopened after 0 ticks, csr0=0032.
dcsr=a0061020
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not permitted
LANCE unopened after 0 ticks, csr0=0032.
dcsr=a0061020
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not permitted
Failed to bring up eth0.

(in case it's relevant: csr0 appears to be 0032 on SS-5 and ffff on  
SS-10, ticks 100 on SS-5 and 0 on SS-10)

Any ideas?

Andreas


P.S. Are you aware that ppc-softmmu no longer builds on OS X? I get  
two unresolved symbol errors.
