Is that 100% reproducible? Which version of QEMU did you use here? And which host are you using, POWER9 again? The very latest git master branch is using a timeout of 10 minutes now, so that should be sufficient for all cases...
Could you please try to run this manually: qemu-system-sparc64 -nographic -M sun4u -prom-env 'use-nvramrc?=true' -prom-env 'nvramrc=." Hello World!" cr' ... and then paste the output here? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1713434 Title: prom-env-test test aborted and core dumped Status in QEMU: In Progress Bug description: On ppc64le architecture machine the following test case Aborted and Core dumped. # tests/prom-env-test --quiet --keep-going -m=quick --GTestLogFD=6 ** ERROR:tests/libqtest.c:628:qtest_get_arch: assertion failed: (qemu != NULL) Aborted (core dumped) Steps to re-produce: clone from the git configure & compile run the unit tests by 'make check' (gdb) bt #0 0x00003fff9d60eff0 in raise () from /lib64/libc.so.6 #1 0x00003fff9d61136c in abort () from /lib64/libc.so.6 #2 0x00003fff9de1aa04 in g_assertion_message () from /lib64/libglib-2.0.so.0 #3 0x00003fff9de1ab0c in g_assertion_message_expr () from /lib64/libglib-2.0.so.0 #4 0x000000001000cc30 in qtest_get_arch () at tests/libqtest.c:628 #5 0x00000000100048f0 in main (argc=5, argv=0x3ffff2145538) at tests/prom-env-test.c:82 (gdb) i r r0 0xfa 250 r1 0x3ffff2144d30 70368510627120 r2 0x3fff9d7b9900 70367091333376 r3 0x0 0 r4 0x12a7 4775 r5 0x6 6 r6 0x8 8 r7 0x1 1 r8 0x0 0 r9 0x0 0 r10 0x0 0 r11 0x0 0 r12 0x0 0 r13 0x3fff9dfa1950 70367099623760 r14 0x0 0 r15 0x0 0 r16 0x0 0 r17 0x0 0 r18 0x0 0 r19 0x0 0 r20 0x0 0 r21 0x0 0 r22 0x0 0 r23 0x0 0 r24 0x0 0 r25 0x0 0 r26 0x0 0 r27 0x100287f8 268601336 r28 0x16841b40 377756480 r29 0x4c 76 r30 0x3ffff2144de8 70368510627304 r31 0x6 6 pc 0x3fff9d60eff0 0x3fff9d60eff0 <raise+96> msr 0x900000000280f033 10376293541503627315 cr 0x42000842 1107298370 lr 0x3fff9d61136c 0x3fff9d61136c <abort+396> ctr 0x0 0 xer 0x0 0 orig_r3 0x12a7 4775 trap 0xc00 3072 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1713434/+subscriptions
