That works fine on a 604 (CPU=0x00040103) - but does not on an emulated 7400 (CPU=0x000c0209) or 7450 (CPU=0x80000201). I found that the emulator jumps to 0x00000c00 instead of 0xfff00c00. Probably this is due to a wrong setting in target-ppc/ translate_init.c:

init_excp_604() correctly sets env->hreset_vector=0xfff00000UL;

but

init_excp_7400() says env->hreset_vector=0x00000000UL;

which seems wrong. (the 7400 manual says a hard-reset jumps initializes the
prefix to 0xfff00000.)

Do you have a link to a spec saying so? Should be trivial to change then.

Likewise, init_excp_7450() (and probably other, related CPUs) are wrong.

Indeed, when I change the value in init_excp_7400() to 0xfff00000UL then
everything works as expected for me.

We are currently in the process of revamping the PReP machine you are using above. Is your BIOS available publicly so that we can test we don't break anything for you?
