[Qemu-devel] PATCH stfiwx implementation

2006-10-10 Thread Tom Marn
Hi This is the patch which appends optional stfiwx PowerPC instruction into QEMU. For demonstration purpose you can use attached stfiwx_cast.c code. But i'm still having problems with gen_op_load_fpr_FT1(rS(ctx-opcode)); macro which loads fpr[rS(ctx-opcode] into internal FT1 register. When

[Qemu-devel] booting a linux kernel from NFS

2006-10-10 Thread Markus Schiltknecht
Hi, I get this error, when I don't give qemu a 'hda': A disk image must be given for 'hda' when booting a Linux kernel. Why is that? Isn't it completely legal to start without a IDE drive? For example with: qemu \ -kernel linux-test/bzImage-2.6.18 \ -append root=/dev/nfs

Rob Landley wrote: Because the way -kernel works is to create a fake bootsector internally, present it to the bios as the start of hda, and tell the bios to boot from that. If you haven't got an hda, it gets confused. (It probably shouldn't, since it's not actually _using_ it, but it does.)
