Hi all, I was just wondering what is the current state of the openbsd/macppc port? As part of my recent work on qemu-system-ppc I now have a patch that can boot OpenBSD macppc under the New World (-M mac99,via=pmu) machine but I'm seeing quite a bit of instability in OpenBSD compared to all my other test OSs.
For those that are interested I have included screenshots below: OpenBSD 6.3 - Hangs just after USB detection - https://www.ilande.co.uk/tmp/qemu/openbsd-6.3.png OpenBSD 6.2 - Panics just after USB detection - https://www.ilande.co.uk/tmp/qemu/openbsd-6.2.png OpenBSD 6.1 - Boots all the way to the installer but causes qemu-system-ppc to terminate fairly easily after pressing a few keys with "qemu: fatal: ERROR: instruction should not need address translation" - https://www.ilande.co.uk/tmp/qemu/openbsd-6.1.png Note I also get a constant stream of messages on the console related to OpenPIC: qemu-system-ppc: openpic_iack: bad raised IRQ 47 ctpr 8 ivpr 0x4047002f qemu-system-ppc: openpic_iack: bad raised IRQ 47 ctpr 8 ivpr 0x4047002f qemu-system-ppc: openpic_iack: bad raised IRQ 47 ctpr 8 ivpr 0x4047002f qemu-system-ppc: openpic_iack: bad raised IRQ 47 ctpr 8 ivpr 0x4047002f qemu-system-ppc: openpic_iack: bad raised IRQ 28 ctpr 8 ivpr 0x4045001c qemu-system-ppc: openpic_iack: bad raised IRQ 28 ctpr 8 ivpr 0x4045001c qemu-system-ppc: openpic_iack: bad raised IRQ 28 ctpr 8 ivpr 0x4045001c etc. Obviously I can't categorically state that QEMU's emulation is perfect, but it can now reliably run all of Linux, MacOS, NetBSD and FreeBSD in my local tests which makes me suspect that OpenBSD is trying to do something different here. ATB, Mark.
