afaik they are only supported when the images consist of only 1 file. at
least i was not able to run split images (e.g. every 2gb)

as always i might be wrong on this

[Qemu-devel] how to begin with qemu and networking

2006-04-04 Thread Rakotomandimby Mihamina
Hi,
I am documenting about qemu.
I want this architecture:
http://locataire-serveur.info/workspaces/members/mihamina/public/architecture-qemu/

The host is a Linux Debian amd64.
- How could I set the "internal" IP of the host to 10.0.0.1?
- Is the emulated guest a 32bit or a 64 like the host?

Thank you.

[Qemu-devel] VLAN inside qemu

2006-04-04 Thread octane indice
Hello,

I'm trying to experiment VLAN networking with qemu but the doc doesn't help 
me at all.

I want to setup a LAN composed by qemu host, each guest communicating 
with each other.

It's for testing etherboot.
I want to have a host e.g. 172.16.12.1 acting as a DHCP/TFTP/nfs server
and several clients (at least 2) connecting with it.

What could be the command line to launch these qemu? Is tun/tap 
unavoidable?

Thanks

Your right about this - but I talked to one of the vmdk developers, and he
said that the lack of support was due to the lack of demand. (It is real
easy to use dd to convert split images into single images, so support for this
is not really needed.)

Basically, if u want split images to be supported in qemu, speak up now. ;)

well "want them to be supported" might be a little too much - i just
think if some of the devs are bored this might be a way to save some
people from hours/minutes hanging around the irc-channel and/or mailing
list.

just my 0.02eur

[Qemu-devel] Experiences with qemu-system-ppc

2006-04-04 Thread Julian Seward

What are the prospects for qemu-system-ppc being improved to the
point where I can do a vanilla install of popular ppc32-linux
distros?

I've tried a vanilla install of Debian Sarge (3.1).  That went
smoothly, except for the stage right at the end, where the disk
image is made bootable.  The resulting disk image is, despite
much messing around, not bootable (using QEMU from cvs).

Vesselin Peev made a ppc32 Debian Sarge image with a specially
modified external kernel to work around this problem 
(http://free.oszoo.org/ftp/images/debian_sarge_ppc.tar.torrent)
and that does work.  Unfortunately QEMU consumes 100% host CPU
even when the virtual machine is idle, which means it's not useful
for a long-running virtual server.  And the reliance on a specially
modified kernel means normal updating/upgrading of the virtual
machine isn't possible.

My goal is to run a farm of QEMU virtual ppc32 machines to do
overnight builds/tests of Valgrind on different ppc32 distros.

Maybe the "-net socket" option helps in this case - see the QEMU doc for 
an exact description. There are also some threads about this option in 
the forum (search for "net socket").

[Qemu-devel] will qemu emulate 32 or 64 bit CPU?

2006-04-04 Thread Rakotomandimby Mihamina
Hi,
I run a host with 64 b its AMD Athlons.
What will be the default x86 CPU emulation? 32 bits or 64 bits?
I saw nothing in the doc.
Thank you.

I read that QEMU Accelerator Module was not compatible with Xen running
on host. But the thought occured could Xen be run on guest
Linux host--->Linux guest with Xen.

[Qemu-devel] SPARC iommu mapping

2006-04-04 Thread Joerg Platte
Hi!

I still have problems when using a disk image for the SPARC system emulator. 
Reading and writing now works better than in previous versions, but sometimes 
data written to image is simply corrupt. To find this problem I wrote a small 
program writing data to the beginning of a disk image. Afterwards I compared 
the written data in the image with the expected values. Most of the data was 
correct, but sometimes a few pages mostly contains only zeros. 

To find this problem, I enabled debugging in the esp.c file and printed the 
mapped address (after iommu mapping). In some cases the mapped address is 
zero:

Normal write:

ESP: DMA Direction: r, addr 0x008fd000 000b
ESP: DMA Direction: r, addr 0x0bea1000 e000
ESP: DMA address 0bea2000
ESP: DMA address 0bea4000
ESP: DMA address 0bea5000
ESP: DMA address 0bea6000
ESP: DMA address 0bea7000
ESP: DMA address 0bea8000
ESP: DMA address 0bea9000
ESP: DMA address 0beaa000
ESP: DMA address 0beab000
ESP: DMA address 0beac000
ESP: DMA address 0bead000
ESP: DMA address 0beaf000
ESP: DMA address 0beb

Faulty write:

ESP: DMA Direction: r
ESP: DMA Direction: r, addr 0x008fd000 000b
ESP: DMA Direction: r, addr 0x0beb1000 e000
ESP: DMA address 0beb2000
ESP: DMA address 0beb3000
ESP: DMA address 0beb4000
ESP: DMA address 0beb5000
ESP: DMA address 0beb6000
ESP: DMA address 0beb7000
ESP: DMA address 0beb8000
ESP: DMA address 

I used this code in handle_ti to produce this output:

dmaptr = iommu_translate(s->espdmaregs[1] + i);
if ((olddma&0xf000) != (dmaptr&0xf000)) {
DPRINTF("DMA address %08x\n", dmaptr);
olddma=dmaptr;
}


Unfortunately, I'm no hardware or SPARC expert and it took a whole day to 
track down this problem. So I'm not able to find the reason for this 
behaviour. What may cause the wrong mapping? Is this some kind of page fault, 
which must be handled by the kernel? Or just a bug?

regards,
Jörg
