Correct ? Exactly i have the same on Qoriq too. >Here is the command line I used on a 17.04 host : >qemu-system-ppc64 -M pseries-2.[1-8],accel=kvm,kvm-type=PR -cpu 970fx_v2.0 -m >1024 -nographic I will try your same command line and see what will exit on me. I cant use qemu on 17.04 host because there is no more support for PPC32, PPC64 dead line is 16.10 and last working version of qemu on PPC is 2.6.1 i dint try 2.9 there if needed i can do i have ubuntu mate 17.04 installed too. >Did we introduce a regression in compatibility in QEMU 2.9 ? or Im facing many issue on this last update im try to help how i can before all come upstream. i like really much qemu. i can help in testing on PPC64 Be if need with my hw. >was it bogus before ? That needs a little digging. I did not work >on that part. dont worry you did much Thanks Luigi -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1674925 Title: Qemu PPC64 kvm no display if --device virtio-gpu-pci is selected Status in QEMU: New Bug description: Hi, i did many tests on qemu 2.8 on my BE machines and i found an issue that i think was need to be reported Test Machines BE 970MP if i setup qemu with qemu-system-ppc64 -M 1024 --display sdl(or gtk),gl=on --device virtio- gpu-pci,virgl --enable-kvm and so and so result is doubled window one is vga other is virtio-gpu-pci without any start of the VM . pratically i dont have any output of openbios and on the virtual serial output the same issue i found is if i select: qemu-system-ppc64 -M 1024 --display gtk(or sdl) --device virtio-gpu-pci --enable-kvm and so and so i had been try to change all the -M types of all kind of pseries without any positive result.
