Hi,
With this simple command line I get to the desktop with Lubuntu PPC 16 32
bit. Takes some time... Qemu-system-ppc is from current rc0 master.
Colors are inverted, though.
I got same result on x86_64 Intel host/QEMU but I think the crash Andrew
reported was with x86_64 host (AMD CPU if that matters) but 32bit x86 QEMU.
So we haven't really tested the same config so we could only confirm it does
not crash on 64bit host/QEMU.
./qemu-system-ppc \
-L pc-bios \
-boot d -M mac99,via=pmu -m 1024 \
-prom-env 'auto-boot?=true' -prom-env 'boot-args=-v' -prom-env
'vga-ndrv?=false' \
-drive

-serial stdio \
-g 1024x768x32 \ (also with x16 and x8)
-device ati-vga,id=rage128p
I would not call that a simple command as it has a lot of unnecessary or
ineffective options. My simple command is just:
qemu-system-ppc -M mac99,via=pmu -m 1024 -cdrom
lubuntu-16.04-desktop-powerpc.iso -boot d -device ati-vga
which gives the same result on x86_64 host and QEMU: boots to desktop slowly
with swapped endian colors. (The slowness may be due to it trying to detect
missing hardware, it even tries to talk to modems on serial.) All the other
