The last thing I've heard about that was long time ago when I and Jocelyn tried to make it work with OpenHackWare to no luck.
Anyway, right now, it does not work either, I just don't know if anyone is working on it. I know that the AIX boot process is quite different (using MBR partition scheme, different memory maps). Sorry but right now, "Does AIX/RS6000 work on QEMU?" is NO.
