You are trying to virtualize SPARC on x86 so you need qemu-system-sparc. qemu-sparc would be for a user-mode emulation on a SPARC processor. I've done this before on CentOS 7 and it should definitely be possible to install qemu-system-sparc. yum should not have a problem figuring out the dependencies - make sure you're all up to date and don't have any broken packages.

If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something. -- Franklin D.

I have a SPARC image I need to bringing up in a VM. I've been using *qemu-system-sparc*. $ qemu-system-sparc -m 256 -hda solaris_v2-qemu_v2.2.0.disk -nographic -bios ./openbios-sparc32 This is on a box on which I have Fedora-30 installed. Can I use *qemu-sparc* to bring up my Solaris image: *solaris_v2-qemu_v2.2.0.disk* ? If so, how? BTW, *qemu-sparc* come with (on CentOS 7.6): $ sudo yum install qemu* *PS> I've tried to install qemu-system-sparc on my CentOS box but ended up in a never-ending whack-a-mole game of dependencies.*
