This doesn't work given qemu-system-sparc emulates a 32-bit CPU, while Debian needs a 64-bit CPU. > prompt% qemu-system-sparc64 -hda qemu-debian-sparc.img -boot d -m 256 > -cdrom ISO_Images/Debian/debian-6.0.1a-sparc-businesscard.iso > > ... > ... > ... > [ 0.000000] Initializing cgroup subsys cpu > This is because qemu-system-sparc64 is not yet complete to the point of booting a Linux kernel. I'll advise you to install etch instead, which is the last Debian sparc release with support for 32-bit CPU. -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 1024D/F1BCDB73 aurel...@aurel32.net http://www.aurel32.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
