Re: [Qemu-ppc] [Qemu-devel] [PATCH 08/13] pseries: Update SLOF for NVRAM support

[Erlon Cruz]

Hi Nikunj,

Its probabily might be a problem that happen only with SLES. I could install fedora 17 ppc. The instalation was OK, the only problem I had was in the boot, fedora needs the NVRAM capability. 

David, Is this upstream already?

I have had success with following command:

./ppc64-softmmu/qemu-system-ppc64 -machine type=pseries,usb=off -m 512 -nographic -cdrom ../../distro/openSUSE-NET64-ppc64-Build0022-Media.iso -hda ../../imgs/guest_suse.disk

Using the following server repo:
http://download.opensuse.org/ports/ppc/distribution/12.2/repo/oss

I havent tried SLES tough.
