Hello, for the record, this is my first trial to generate a powerpc image on an x86 hardware.
I have add ARCH=powerpc in the freesbie.conf, remove the "machine powerpc" line in the conf/powerpc/FREESBIE, it seem useless. I also have replaced the iso.sh file by powerpc/iso.sh. Everything is ok during the build process (except for the package installation of course) Next step is to test it, unfortunately, on only have a G5, which is not supported actually. I have tried to boot but the cd is not recognized. I have tried with qemu with this command lire : qemu-system-ppc -boot d -cdrom /usr/tmp/Isos/FBIEUvsqPpc-0.3.iso but it give error : the cdrom don't seem bootable on ppc platform. Any hints ? PJ : the ouput of the build process and the error message from qemu #### Building kernel for powerpc architecture ####
