I was only able to find debian-40r3-sparc-netinst.iso here on ppc/linux it boots (i think): <snip snip> boot: expert Allocated 8 Megs of memory at 0x40000000 for kernel Loaded kernel version 2.6.18 Loading initial ramdisk (3882238 bytes at 0xC00000 phys, 0x40C00000 virt)... - Remapping the kernel... done. Booting Linux... And it sits there while i'm losing patience.. Can you retry with netinst, if it behaves like CD-1 in your case the problem is most likely confined to OSX, otherwise i would have to search for CD-1 better. > > > qemu-system-ppc appears to hang on ppc64 but doesn't on ppc. > > > > Ditto. > > $ /Users/andreas/QEMU/latest64/bin/qemu-system-ppc -boot d -cdrom > /Users/andreas/QEMU/debian-40r4a-powerpc-netinst.iso > > On OSX/ppc64 this never got past the OpenBIOS banner and eventually crashed: > > Starting program: /Users/andreas/QEMU/latest64/bin/qemu-system-ppc -boot d > -cdrom /Users/andreas/QEMU/debian-40r4a-powerpc-netinst.iso -nographic > Reading symbols for shared libraries [..snip..] > > The upper bt showed something like helper_lsw only, iirc. > > This is at QEMU 749717a0ea2f60d33d01c1e37fa24dfa7250dfc0, using the binary > blobs on OSX/ppc64 and with or without latest OpenBIOS versions on OSX/ppc. Thanks will try system-ppc later.. -- mailto:av1...@comtv.ru
