Re: [Qemu-devel] PATCH: floppy controller missing in acpi tables
On Tue, 16 May 2006, Ben Taylor wrote: This patch was created by Juergen Kiel, so to be clear I did not make this patch. I did however, test it, with the current CVS code, and this patch to the ACPI tables does allow a floppy drive to be seen by a Solaris 10/X86 guest. Prior to this time, changes in Solaris 10 do not correctly enumerate the ISA bus for the floppy, and therefore you could never add an Install Time Update (ITU), such as the DiskUpdate on tools.de/solaris/itu/DU.zip which has a modifed RTL8029 driver that works with Qemu on SolarisX86. Note: the file hw/acpi-dsdt.hex must be rebuilt using Intel's iasl ACPI compiler. In the hw directory, run iasl -tc acpi-dsdt.dsl. That should build the acpi-dsdt.hex file from acpi-dsdt.dsl. Ah, someone fixed this - great. I hope this makes it into Qemu soon. regards, -- Paul Jakma [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Key ID: 64A2FF6A Fortune: Vests are to suits as seat-belts are to cars. ___ Qemu-devel mailing list Qemu-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/qemu-devel

Obviosly, if you boot a Solaris 10/x86 install with -B acpi-user-options=0x0, you will not see the floppy. (I see that a patch is in the works for OpenSolaris, so eventually this will be fixed for good on Solaris). Excellent, thanks Ben and Juergen. FWIW, the RTL8139 NIC in current Qemu /ought/ to work with the 'rtls' driver included with Solaris. I havn't managed to test this yet as Qemu CVS /seems/ still to have timeout issues with Solaris NV 39 (booting from the install CD at least). Also, there was an AMD PCNet patch for Qemu (by Anthony Curtis). Which (possibly) Xen are using, but it is not included with Qemu. Solaris has a driver for this, based on the newer 'GLDv2' NIC driver framework. I tried quickly (ie i spent 5 minutes on it) porting Anthony's patch to the updated VLAN-client framework in Qemu, it gets recognised by the Solaris miniroot, but I must have missed something / made a mistake as Qemu crashes. regards, -- Paul Jakma [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Key ID: 64A2FF6A Fortune: Power is poison. ___ Qemu-devel mailing list Qemu-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/qemu-devel

I havn't managed to test this yet as Qemu CVS /seems/ still to have timeout issues with Solaris NV 39 (booting from the install CD at least). You have to turn off atapi-cd-dma-enabled at the initial solaris grub boot prompt like: hit e on the primary solaris install add ,-B atapi-cd-dma-enabled=0 to the line then hit b to boot. That should get you a working install. Also, there was an AMD PCNet patch for Qemu (by Anthony Curtis). Which (possibly) Xen are using, but it is not included with Qemu.

Just use the ITU from Juergen. I've installed solaris express b39 and used the ni driver from the ITU and ti works like a champ. (Juergen modified Murayama's ni (ne2000) driver to work correctly with qemu).
