qemu-system-ppc with rhel-server-6.6-ppc64-dvd.iso
by Gary Gatling
Has anyone been able to emulate a PPC system to run RHEL 6 in qemu? I had a
build for epel 6 that was failing on ppc64. (It does work on epel 7 ppc
however)
I was hoping to figure out what is wrong by taking a closer look via ppc
emulation and running rpmbuild within it.
But when I try to install it on a fedora 21 laptop I get
qemu-system-ppc -boot d -cdrom rhel-server-6.6-ppc64-dvd.iso -m 1024 -hda
ppcdisk.img

Maybe some other distro would work better for this then fedora 21? Or is
there something I have to type at openboot prompt to get the installer
started?
I can run
qemu-system-ppc -boot d -cdrom rhel-server-6.6-ppc64-dvd.iso -m 1024 -hda
ppcdisk.img -prom-env 'auto-boot?=false'
and then I can do a "dir" on the dvd iso. I just can't seem to boot it.
I was able to boot a ubuntu ppc mini.iso. Just not RHEL 6 ppc iso.
Thanks for any ideas anyone has.
