 Posted: Fri Nov 07, 2008 1:09 am Post subject: QEMU 0.9.0 on PPC iMac, trying to install OSX [SOLVED] |
 |
|
Hi,
I've installed Linux and QEMU on a Mac Mini.
Linux mac_mini 2.6.24-gentoo-r3 ppc 7447A, altivec supported PowerMac10,1 GNU/Linux
I am trying to install OS/X into a virtual machine but for some reason, when starting QEMU
qemu -hda osx.cow -boot d -cdrom /dev/cdrom
I get the following output | Code: | Plex86/Bochs VGABios current-cvs 14 Jun 2006
This VGA/VBE Bios is released under the GNU LGPL
Please visit :
. http://bochs.sourceforge.net
. http://www.nongnu.org/vgabios
Bochs VBE Display Adapter enabled
QEMU BIOS - build: 11/01/06
$Revision: 1.174 $ $Date: 2006/10/17 16:48:05 $
Options: apmbios pcibios eltorito rombios32
ata0 master: QEMU HARDDISK ATA-7 Hard-Disk (16384 MBytes)
ata1 master QEMU CD-ROM ATAPI-4 CD-Rom/DVD-Rom
CDROM boot failure code : 0005
Boot from CD-Rom failed
FATAL: Could not read the boot disk |
I've tried making an .iso image from my OS/X install disk and using that as the CD-ROM:
qemu -hda osx.cow -boot d -cdrom OS_X_Install.iso
But it also fails with the same error.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance

Thanks for all the interesting leads, nurachi!
Yes! Thanks for pointing out my error! I was running the x86 QEMU!
Running the command
qemu-system-ppc -hda osx.cow -boot d -cdrom OS_X_Install.iso | Code: | Could not configure '/dev/rtc' to have a 1024 Hz timer. This is not a fatal
error, but for better emulation accuracy either use a 2.6 host Linux kernel or
type 'echo 1024 > /proc/sys/dev/rtc/max-user-freq' as root.
Segmentation fault |
I see QEMU's window appear for a brief moment, there is lots of text in it, but it disappears too quickly for me to be able to read even one word.
From the article link you posted, I expected it to work slightly better than that: The author said "it doesn't completely work yet." but what I am experiencing is that it works almost not at all... I wonder if the segmentation fault I am getting is caused by something else... If I remove the CDROM option it still segfaults, if it behaved like the x86 version I would expect it to tell me that the hard-disk I have given it is not-bootable, but instead it segfaults...
The x86 version of QEMU didn't segfault. It couldn't boot the CD, but it didn't crash...
I cannot use it: It appears to be intel-only.
I have a PPC iMac, and a PPC OS/X license and CD-ROM.
I tried emerging mol but it will not build its kernel module with the kernel headers I have (2.6.24-r3). It gives this error: | Code: | * Preparing mol module

Maybe if I switched kernel versions for one that mol is known to work with... Does anyone know which version that is?
Any ideas are welcome.
Thank you. |

Did you try the suggested command?

Hmmm... I don't have an rtc directory under /proc/sys/dev/
Could that really be the problem? The warning says it is non-fatal. |

Do you have a /dev/rtc? You may have only a /dev/rtc0 and then you need to make adjustments in your kernel. If you ahve neither, you defnitely need to turn Real Time Clock in your kernel.

Looks like that is 2.6.20-r10.
Disclaimer: I have NOT tried every version of the kernel. I did try 2.6.24-r7 and 2.6.27-r2, both of those were no-go; the mol kernel module would never compile because of some undefined symbol or another.
Also, no matter what kernel options I tried for qemu-system-ppc, it would always segfault at start-up, so in the end I had to go with mol
Thanks for everyone's help. |
