i have sam460 amigaos cdrom iso as my backup and can test it inside qemu. sharing the logs if you needed. > I think it would not be possible to use the U-Boot in QEMU now as that is for > e500 CPU but this is not needed either.

This already works but things fail after or during boot currently. > This is what needs to be debugged. So we'd need someone who has a Sam460 (ex > or cr) board and can test on that to get logs from OSes on real hardware for > comparison. about real hardware no problem i will ask inside amigan community if someone have the opportunity to share the serial debug of sam 460 runinng amigaos. can i ask you something ? why you dont try to integrate in qemu the pegasos 2 or the efika machine. i have the feeling that probably it can be more simple because more old machine and components. bye luigi
