Public bug reported:
(trusty)root@jade-rev4:/home2/qemu/vm2# lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Release: 14.04
dpkg -l | grep qemu | grep ppc
qemu-system-ppc 2.0.0~rc1+dfsg-
0ubuntu3.1
Launching VM's from qemu-system-ppc frequently fail to read stdin - VM is
HUNG ?
/usr/bin/qemu-system-ppc -M ppce500 -nographic -kernel jade-kernel.bin-new \
-initrd svy-initrd-raw.bin -m 1G -enable-kvm \
-append "console=ttyS0 sgyboot=break" \
-name Ubuntu-$$
When the launch sequence works , there is an interactive shell that
busybox commands can be executed:
-- Screen:
Servergy Boot Loader.
==> You are now in a standard shell.
svy-boot# ls
bin dev init mnt root sbin tmp var
boot etc lib proc run sys usr
svy-boot# cat /proc/partitions
major minor #blocks name
253 0 41943040 vda
253 1 8387584 vda1
253 2 33553408 vda2
svy-boot#
--- EOT
However , other launch sequences hang , stdout messages appear , but
stdin is ignored.
I SUSPECT THE ISSUE IS IN QEMU and NOT THE VM because when TERMINTR key is
caught (^c ) and
QEMU quits:
--- Screen
Servergy Boot Loader.
==> You are now in a standard shell.
svy-boot# ls < -- stdin IGNORED ;
^C(trusty)root@jade-rev4:/home2/qemu/vm2# qemu: terminating on signal 2
NOTE ^^ Cntr C is caught by QEMU and terminates ;
