Hello Thomas,

Thanks for your reply. I compiled the RC5 of kernel 4.17 without corenet 
generic support today. ubuntu MATE 16.04 LTS PowerPC boots!!!!!!!!!

qemu-system-ppc64 -M ppce500 -cpu e5500 -m 2048 -nographic -kernel 
/home/christian/Downloads/uImage-4.17-without_corenet -drive 
file=/home/christian/Dokumente/ubuntu_MATE_16.04.3_LTS_PowerPC_QEMU/ubuntu_MATE_16.04_PowerPC.img,index=0,if=virtio 
-net nic,vlan=0,model=e1000 -net user,vlan=0 -append "rw root=/dev/vda3"

With the following command I can boot it with a VirtIO graphics cards.

qemu-system-ppc64 -M ppce500 -cpu e5500 -m 2048 -kernel 
/home/christian/Downloads/uImage-4.17-without_corenet -drive 
file=/home/christian/Dokumente/ubuntu_MATE_16.04.3_LTS_PowerPC_QEMU/ubuntu_MATE_16.04_PowerPC.img,index=0,if=virtio 
-net nic,vlan=0,model=e1000 -net user,vlan=0 -append "rw root=/dev/vda3" 
-device virtio-vga

Unfortunately mouse and keyboard doesn't work in the virtual machine.

Many thanks for your help! :-)

Have a nice weekend! :-)

Cheers,
Christian
