Recognize the qemu --nodefaults option, which will disable the
following default devices on hppa:
- lsi53c895a SCSI controller,
- artist graphics card,
- LASI 82596 NIC,
- tulip PCI NIC,
- second serial PCI card,
- USB OHCI controller.
Adding this option is very useful to allow manual testing and
debugging of the other possible devices on the command line.
With this patch in the tree, I get some interesting crashes in Seabios
if I provide a somewhat unusual command line option. For example,
something like
-usb -device usb-ehci,id=ehci \
-device usb-uas,bus=ehci.0,id=uas \
-device scsi-hd,bus=uas.0,scsi-id=0,lun=0,drive=d0 \
-drive file= ...
is accepted as command line option but results in

SeaBIOS wants SYSTEM HALT.
This is without --nodefaults, and it used to work. Is that intentional ?
This should now be fixed in the upcoming SeaBIOS-hppa-v16 version ("devel"
branch):
https://github.com/hdeller/seabios-hppa/tree/devel
Could you test?
If it doesn't work, please give me the full command line.
If I do use the --nodefaults parameter, I was unable to figure out how
to configure the serial console. What command line parameter(s) do I need to
get it ?
You need to add:
-serial mon:stdio
This will create a serial port if it's not yet there.
Thanks for your testing!
