David has already queued the patches in his ppc-for-4.1 branch at https://github.com/dgibson/qemu/commits/ppc-for-4.1 so they will get merged soon. If you're working with git then I'd try testing the queued branch first and see if that resolves the issue.
Once the patches have been applied to master we'll add a CC to the stable list so the fixes will be included in the next 4.0 update. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1829576 Title: QEMU-SYSTEM-PPC64 Regression QEMU-4.0.0 Status in QEMU: New Bug description: I have been using QEMU-SYSTEM-PPC64 v3.1.0 to run CentOS7 PPC emulated system. It stopped working when I upgraded to QEMU-4.0.0 . I downgraded back to QEMU-3.1.0 and it started working again. The problem is that my CentOS7 image will not boot up udner QEMU-4.0.0, but works fine under QEMU-3.1.0. I have an QCOW2 image available at https://www.mediafire.com/file/d8dda05ro85whn1/linux- centos7-ppc64.qcow2/file . NOTE: It is 15GB. Kind of large. I run it as follows: qemu-system-ppc64 \ -name "CENTOS7-PPC64" \ -cpu POWER7 -machine pseries \ -m 4096 \ -netdev bridge,id=netbr0,br=br0 \ -device e1000,netdev=netbr0,mac=52:54:3c:13:21:33 \ -hda "./linux-centos7-ppc64.qcow2" \ -monitor stdio HOST: I am using Manjaro Linux on an Intel i7 machine with the QEMU packages installed via the package manager of the distribution.
