Hi all, It seems a qemu-system-ppc from current master no longer boots into openbios, but into to the compat monitor. Command line to reproduce: /home/hsp/src/qemu-master/build/qemu-system-ppc \ -L pc-bios \ -M mac99,via=pmu -m 1024 -boot c \ -drive file=/home/hsp/Mac-disks/9.2.img,format=raw,media=disk
Bisecting leads to this commit: commit b4e1a342112e50e05b609e857f38c1f2b7aafdc4 Author: Paolo Bonzini <pbonz...@redhat.com> Date: Tue Oct 27 08:44:23 2020 -0400 vl: remove separate preconfig main_loop Move post-preconfig initialization to the x-exit-preconfig. If preconfig is not requested, just exit preconfig mode immediately with the QMP command. As a result, the preconfig loop will run with accel_setup_post and os_setup_post restrictions (xen_restrict, chroot, etc.) already done.
