Jordan, Commit dee9376ffc6e5522bb5e50512b521952a5421fa5 appears to break osx smp mode (single-cpu on Mavericks seems to still work fine).
Fedora 20 and 21 live still work fine in either single- or multi-cpu configurations. I realize this must be an annoying bug report, since starting a qemu osx guest requires not-yet-committed patches (e.g. Reza's pending ahci series, and another bunch of osx specific stuff)... For the record, my command line is: bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 2048 -cpu core2duo -smp 4,cores=2 \ -machine q35 -device ide-drive,bus=ide.2,drive=MacHDD \ -drive id=MacHDD,if=none,snapshot=on,file=./mac_10.9.img \ -device isa-applesmc,osk="secret-smc-osk-string" \ -netdev user,id=usr0 -device e1000-82545em,netdev=usr0,id=vnet0 \ -usb -device usb-kbd -device usb-mouse \ -bios OVMF.fd \ -smbios type=0,vendor="ovmf",version="svn.16189",date="09/29/14",uefi=on \ -debugcon file:debug.log -global isa-debugcon.iobase=0x402 \ -monitor stdio And it hangs right before switching to graphics mode (so probably during apple's boot.efi) with the following message: efiboot loaded from device: Acpi(PNP0A03,0)/Pci(1F|2)/SATA(2,0)/HD(Part2,SigF402FAFD-C5D8-49C3-953C-91354746C321) boot file path: .Loading kernel cache file 'System\Library\Caches\com.apple.kext.caches\Startup\kernelcache'..... root device uuid is 'D3720931-EC86-377F-8606-DB54F76A1050' To boot with PIIX instead of q35, simply s/-machine q35/-device ahci,id=ide/ in the command line above. Then, it reboots after logging a similar message. The patch in question is a one-liner adding a "StartApsStackless()" call to UefiCpuPkg/CpuDxe/CpuMp.c, and osx obviously dislikes *something* about the state of the APs when it finds them, but beyond that I have no idea what might be wrong. Jordan, if by any chance you have a hunch and would like me to test an alternative way of doing things for qemu/osx guest compatibility, I'd be happy to. Otherwise, this should serve as a heads-up for Reza: now that ovmf q35 support is upstream, once your ahci patches are applied, this will be something you'll end up running into when submitting osx patches next :) Thanks again, --Gabriel ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Comprehensive Server Monitoring with Site24x7.
