Hi all,
I tried to simulate a ppc64 guest to install Ubuntu-16.04.1-server-ppc64el:
But it failed (start kernel paniced) after enter the install stage, following is the detail command (generated via virtual manager):
/usr/local/bin/qemu-system-ppc64 -name generic-ppc64le -S -machine pseries-2.6,accel=tcg,usb=off -m 2048 -realtime mlock=off -smp 2,sockets=2,cores=1,threads=1 -uuid 6c4818cf-6b8b-41b4-89ab-cf3b6f5d82d4 -no-user-config -nodefaults -chardev socket,id=charmonitor,path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/domain-generic-ppc64le/monitor.sock,server,nowait -mon chardev=charmonitor,id=monitor,mode=control -rtc base=utc -no-shutdown -boot strict=on -device pci-ohci,id=usb,bus=pci.0,addr=0x2 -device spapr-vscsi,id=scsi0,reg=0x2000 -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi1,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5 -drive file=/home/vms/vdisks/ppc-ubuntu16.qcow2,if=none,id=drive-scsi0-0-0-0,format=qcow2 -device scsi-hd,bus=scsi0.0,channel=0,scsi-id=0,lun=0,drive=drive-scsi0-0-0-0,id=scsi0-0-0-0,bootindex=2 -drive file=/root/data/ubuntu-16.04.1-server-ppc64el.iso,if=none,id=drive-scsi1-0-0-0,readonly=on,format=raw -device scsi-cd,bus=scsi1.0,channel=0,scsi-id=0,lun=0,drive=drive-scsi1-0-0-0,id=scsi1-0-0-0,bootindex=1 -netdev tap,fd=24,id=hostnet0 -device rtl8139,netdev=hostnet0,id=net0,mac=52:54:00:d5:c3:f4,bus=pci.0,addr=0x1 -chardev pty,id=charserial0 -device spapr-vty,chardev=charserial0,reg=0x30000000 -device usb-kbd,id=input0 -device usb-mouse,id=input1 -vnc 127.0.0.1:0 -device VGA,id=video0,vgamem_mb=16,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4 -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3 -msg timestamp=on
Any guys met similar problem? or succeed in simulating and installing a power8 guest before?
Looking forward to your response.
Best regards,
