[Qemu-devel] What is the current support state for Sparc emulation?
Hi, I'd like to ask what is the state of Sparc emulation by qemu. Can it run Solaris? I've seen and tried the qemu-system-sparc binary for windows, but it has serious problems with even reading the CD. Was anyone successful at running Solaris at emulated Sparc on qemu? If yes, which version was it? Thank you in advance for your answers, Grzegorz Galezowski

Thanks for your answer, "Blue Swirl", >Did you try the current Qemu in CVS? Not the last one, but I've tried the snapshot available on this page: http://www1.interq.or.jp/~t-takeda/qemu/ It reported error (qemu: fatal: Trap 0x29 while interrupts disabled, Error state), printed register values and shut down. Maybe I'll try the latest CVS tommorow and report back . Regards, Grzegorz Galezowski

As promised, I tried today to launch Solaris 9 (CD version for Sparc, downloaded from http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/9/) on fresh CVS version checked out today. I built it using the manual on this page: http://maiux.com/qemu-windows-binaries-compile-howto but with sparc-softmmu switch in configure's options. The build went well and I tried to start the image the following way: qemu-system-sparc -L . -m 256 -hda hda.img -cdrom sol-9-905hw-install-ga-sparc.iso -boot d -no-acpi -g 800x600 -localltime (with different variations of three last switches). The result: [sparc] Booting file 'cdrom' with parameters '' Not a bootable ELF image Not a Linux kernel image Not a bootable a.out image Not a bootable ELF image Not a Linux kernel image Loading a.out image... Loaded 7680 bytes entry point is 0x4000 Jumping to entry point... Unhandled Exception 0x0007 PC = 0xffd0a55c NPC = 0xffd09374 Stopping execution So this is my report, I hope it can be of some use. I'll try to boot sparc version of OpenSolaris soon and I'l let you know how it went. Regards, Grzegorz Galezowski
[Qemu-devel] sending files from windows host to sparc Linux guest
Hi, Last time I tried to launch qemu with -tftp option to transfer some files from windows NTFS drive to Sparc Debian virtual disk ran under Qemu. I launched Qemu with the following command: qemu-system-sparc -M SS-10 -L . -m 1024 -hda hda.img -g 640x480 -tftp /try (I wanted to transfer from c:\try directory) Then, from Qemu, I ran commands: tftp 10.0.2.2 tftp> binary tftp> get file.txt But then I encountered problems. At first, a "get file.txt" command gave me the following message: Error code 2: Access violation 5 Then I changed permissions to allow everyone everything on the "try" directory and to propagate it to childs. Then the message was: Error code 2: access violation 0 So my question is: should I be able to access NTFS partition with tftp on Qemu Linux with -tftp option? Am I doing something wrong? Regards, Grzegorz Galezowski
