Howdy everybody,
In the past I've had actual hardware to build the different CLFS
books: PPC, PPC64, SPARC64, x86, x86_64, MIPS64 and I don't have
PPC64, SPARC64, and mips64 machine is too slow.
I am checking out qemu and I notice the sparc64 isn't completely
ready to use.
Do any of the subscribers here use qemu to build any of the MIPS or
PPC books?
I did get a malta kernel and debian squeeze qcow2 image and I had
it boot once, but it likes to crash when bringing up the eth0
interface. Also I'm using this on my super fast machine in windows
7 hehe. May load a linux distro on it and try qemu from there.
Any successful kernel and image configurations and command line
options for mips or ppc/ppc64 ?
By the way I'm using the latest 20111119 qemu w32 port.
Sincerely
William Harrington
I seem to reply to myself a lot around here. I setup debian with
binfmt-support and qemu static and I was building with the git book
of ppc with some good results. I think qemu static is the way to go
for what I want to do for testing the book. Of course test suites
will go out the window cause of the emulated environment, so I won't
be able to get accurate results that way.
Sincerely,
William Harrington
