Can you point me to a working combination?
It's difficult to get anything booting with upstream PowerPC qemu, mostly because of the unmaintained firmware they use (called Open Hackware). That said, upstream qemu does not support 440 cores, which is what our KVM work is targeting. Also, Fedora 8 doesn't either, though it may be possible to get F8 working by providing your own kernel and some small configuration tweaks (inittab, securetty). There are other distributions that will work with little to no tweaking for 440, but until we can get IO (other than console) working we have been using very simple root filesystems. However, none of these will be useful to you in KVM unless you have a 440 host to run them on. Originally you said you just need a kernel tree to build against. Can you elaborate on what you're trying to do now? -- Hollis Blanchard IBM Linux Technology Center ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
