Hello, I try to run a PPC VM inside qemu 2.1.2 with CPU type E500. Therfore I downloaded a kernel and initrd from the ubuntu provided netinst packages.
http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/trusty-updates/main/installer-powerpc/current/images/e500/netboot/ Host is a Fedora 21 distro and my start command looks like this. Its a first iteration I have no HDD configured yet. qemu-system-ppc -kernel /mnt/vmlinux -M ppce500 -nographic \ -append "console=ttyS0" -initrd /mnt/initrd.gz -m 256 The machine boots up quite fine until it tries to do modprobing. It looks like something is running havoc and memory gets exhausted. No matter how much RAM is configured for the VM. Console shows: ...
