#6071: ppc: OpenFirmware boot loader hangs on QEMU -----------------------+---------------------------------------------------- Reporter: andreasf | Owner: nobody Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: - General | Version: R1/Development Keywords: | Platform: PowerPC Blockedby: | Patch: 0 Blocking: 1048 | -----------------------+---------------------------------------------------- The PowerPC boot loader is broken under QEMU. After 0.9.1, QEMU switched from the unmaintained OpenHackWare firmware to [http://www.openfirmware.info/OpenBIOS OpenBIOS], a real OpenFirmware implementation. This may have introduced regressions on either side. Both the default Old World machine (`-M g3beige`) {{{ qemu-system-ppc -boot d -cdrom haiku-boot-cd-ppc.iso }}} and the New World machine {{{ qemu-system-ppc -M mac99 -boot d -cdrom haiku-boot-cd-ppc.iso }}} result in: {{{ Welcome to OpenBIOS v1.0 built on May 22 2010 12:55 checking for memory... 0: base = 0x00000000, size = 134217728 1: empty region total physical memory = 128 MB suggested page table size = 1048576 need new page table, size = 1048576! new table at: 0x07f00000 }}} -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/6071> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
