Hi, I have been using QEMU for a few years and periodically tested AIX V6.1 with qemu-system-ppc and read the various threads in the mailing list knowing not to expect it to work just yet. However, with OpenBIOS v1.0 I was surprised to find how far it gets now. Please see below and I would appreciate any advice on how to debug further:
