The QEMU project is currently moving its bug tracking to another system. For this we need to know which bugs are still valid and which could be closed already. Thus we are setting the bug state to "Incomplete" now.
If the bug has already been fixed in the latest upstream version of QEMU, then please close this ticket as "Fix released". If it is not fixed yet and you think that this bug report here is still valid, then you have two options: 1) If you already have an account on gitlab.com, please open a new ticket for this problem in our new tracker here: https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues and then close this ticket here on Launchpad (or let it expire auto- matically after 60 days). Please mention the URL of this bug ticket on Launchpad in the new ticket on GitLab. 2) If you don't have an account on gitlab.com and don't intend to get one, but still would like to keep this ticket opened, then please switch the state back to "New" or "Confirmed" within the next 60 days (other- wise it will get closed as "Expired"). We will then eventually migrate the ticket automatically to the new system (but you won't be the reporter of the bug in the new system and thus you won't get notified on changes anymore). Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience. ** Changed in: qemu Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1829682 Title: QEMU PPC SYSTEM regression - 3.1.0 and GIT - Fail to boot AIX Status in QEMU: Incomplete Bug description: Built from source on a debian system Linux db08 4.9.0-8-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.130-2 (2018-10-27) x86_64 GNU/Linux gcc version 6.3.0 20170516 (Debian 6.3.0-18+deb9u1) Last git commit (from queued gdibson repository) starting AIX 7.2 TL 2 SP 2 with the following : (the install was done under qemu 3.1.0) qemu-system-ppc64 -M pseries \ -cpu power7 \ -cdrom AIX_v7.2_Install_7200-02-02-1806_DVD_1_of_2_32018.iso \ -net nic \ -net tap,ifname=tap2,script=no \ -drive file=DISK1.IMG,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0 \ -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=scsi -device scsi-hd,drive=drive-virtio-disk0 \ -m 4G \ -serial stdio \ -monitor unix:ms,server,nowait \ -accel tcg \ -k fr \ -nographic \ -prom-env input-device=/vdevice/vty@71000000 \ -prom-env output-device=/vdevice/vty@71000000 \ -prom-env diag-switch?=false \ -prom-env boot-command="boot /pci@800000020000000/scsi@2/disk@100000000000000 -s verbose" Yields this : ^M SLOF^[[0m^[[?25l **********************************************************************^M ^[[1mQEMU Starting^M ^[[0m Build Date = Jan 14 2019 18:00:39^M FW Version = git-a5b428e1c1eae703^M Press "s" to enter Open Firmware.^M^M ^M^M ^[[0m^[[?25hC0000^MC0100^MC0120^MC0140^MC0200^MC0240^MC0260^MC02E0^MC0300^MC0320^MC0340^MC0360^MC0370^MC0380^MC0371^MC0372^MC0373^MC0374^MC03F0^MC0400^MC0480^MC04C0^MC04D0^MC0500^MPopulating /vdevice methods^M Populating /vdevice/vty@71000000^M Populating /vdevice/nvram@71000001^M Populating /vdevice/l-lan@71000002^M Populating /vdevice/v-scsi@71000003^M SCSI: Looking for devices^M 8200000000000000 CD-ROM : "QEMU QEMU CD-ROM 2.5+"^M C05A0^MPopulating /pci@800000020000000^M 00 0000 (D) : 1234 1111 qemu vga^M 00 0800 (D) : 1033 0194 serial bus [ usb-xhci ]^M 00 1000 (D) : 1af4 1004 virtio [ scsi ]^M Populating /pci@800000020000000/scsi@2^M SCSI: Looking for devices^M 100000000000000 DISK : "QEMU QEMU HARDDISK 2.5+"^M C0600^MC06C0^MC0700^MC0800^MC0880^MC0890^MC08A0^MC08A8^MInstalling QEMU fb^M ^M ^M ^M C08B0^MScanning USB ^M XHCI: Initializing^M USB Keyboard ^M USB mouse ^M C08C0^MC08D0^MNo console specified using screen & keyboard^M User selected input-device console: /vdevice/vty@71000000^M User selected output-device console: /vdevice/vty@71000000^M C08E0^MC08E8^MC08FF^M ^M Welcome to Open Firmware^M ^M Copyright (c) 2004, 2017 IBM Corporation All rights reserved.^M This program and the accompanying materials are made available^M under the terms of the BSD License available at^M http://www.opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.php^M ^M ^M Trying to load: -s verbose from: /pci@800000020000000/scsi@2/disk@100000000000000 ...
