Re: [Qemu-discuss] qemu-sparc vs qemu-system-sparc
I really don't think CentOS with Fedora repos are going to work. I've never been able to do that. What is the version of qemu included in the CentOS 7.6 repositories? If it's not recent enough, I think you should just compile from source following the instructions on the qemu wiki.

Re: [Qemu-discuss] qemu-sparc vs qemu-system-sparc
To clarify: qemu-sparc is for running a single *program* written for a SPARC CPU, but the same OS as yours (in John's case Linux for SPARC). qemu-system-sparc is for running an entire virtual *machine* containing an OS for a SPARC CPU, such as a hard drive containing Solaris for SPARC or Linux for SPARC. Both programs are useful, but for different things.

Re: [Qemu-discuss] qemu-sparc vs qemu-system-sparc
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.
