Control: found -1 2.0.0~rc1+dfsg-1exp Control: severity -1 minor Control: tag -1 + upstream
This bugreport has been here for quite some time, and it is still valid for current version of qemu (which is 2.0-tobe). Yes, qemu does not work for this cpu type (-cpu 7455), but it works just fine for some other, similar, cpu types. Here's what the ppc qemu maintainer says about this issue: <agraf> iirc the problem with 7455 is that it has a soft-tlb mmu model by default <agraf> and we'd probably have to switch it over into htab mode in openbios or so <agraf> no os I'm aware of uses the soft-tlb mode anyways <agraf> but why bother? just use -cpu G4 and be happy :) Or better yet, just use kvm mode, which automatically enables -cpu host. Please note that using the same cpu type as on your host, but at the same time running in TCG (emulation, non-kvm) mode, does NOT make the guest faster. The cpu is emulated anyway, and in this mode, it is easier and faster to emulate simpler cpu with simpler instructions.. So choosing host cpu in TCG mode makes no real sense. I'm lowering the severity of this bug, because it is trivial to work around it. Thanks, /mjt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
