Re: [Qemu-devel] Qemu stucking

Hi Mark

I tried booting KVM using qemy-system-ppc with your suggesstion but ended up stucking at below logs..

/usr/bin/qemu-system-ppc -m 512 -nographic -hda kvm/debian_lenny_powerpc_standard.qcow2 
qemu-system-ppc: pci_add_option_rom: failed to find romfile "efi-ne2k_pci.rom"

Actually I'm trying to boot KVM from the powerpc board having ubuntu 13.10 on it,so i need to provide the -nographic option.

Please help regarding this.

Hi Mark

Thanks for the reply.

I'll test and let you know the result soon.

Hi

I'm getting below error when trying to boot the KVM with ethernet
bridging,kvm support and universel TUN enabled by the following command..

/usr/bin/qemu-system-ppc64 -m 512 -nographic -hda
/var/volatile/debian_lenny_

FWIW I think this image will boot with normal qemu-system-ppc too.

Wow, that's fairly old...

Please help regarding this.

In my testing here, I tend to find that some versions of Linux don't particularly like running in -nographic mode and hangs at the point above. Some kernels even get upset running with a 32/15-bit display and must be forced to 8-bit instead :/

Can you try removing -nographic and instead try one or both of the following:

-g 800x600x32
-g 800x600x8

And if those don't work, try the same image again but with qemu-system-ppc rather than qemu-system-ppc64.


HTH,

Mark.
