True. KVM (which is basically »-enable-kvm« passed to qemu) on s390x
itself works, it's just plain qemu-system-s390x on non-System z hardware
that doesn't. Hence you could also use hercules to get started.

Kind regards

QEMU s390/s390x install.

2012-12-19 Thread Mestnik, Michael J - Eagan, MN - Contractor
Hello,
  I've an amd64 squeeze install with qemu 1.1.2.  An example command line for 
me looks like this, with the iso loop mounted to /mnt.

qemu-system-s390x -cdrom debian-wheezy-DI-b3-s390x-DVD-1.iso 
debian-wheezy-DI-b3-s390x-DVD-1.iso -kernel /mnt/boot/linux_vm -initrd 
/mnt/boot/root.bin -append "ro locale=C " -serial vc -no-shutdown

The results are the VM halts seemingly as step one, thus the last option to not 
exit.  There is unfortunately no output on the console or the serial port.

Any advice?  Would there potentially be a how-to posted?  Sounds like I'm not 
the only one to have problems here, though from what I can tell it looks like 
ppl are figuring it out and then abandoning their posts.

Cheers.
