Hi, i am trying to run debian sparc64 on qemu to have another possibility to test, run and compile stuff. However i can not get the recent iso to create a running debian installation on qemu.
I am using an x86_64 machine with debian buster. Qemu version is: EMU emulator version 3.1.0 (Debian 1:3.1+dfsg-8+deb10u5) Copyright (c) 2003-2018 Fabrice Bellard and the QEMU Project developers I am doing pretty standard stuff, that works for other systems: First, i create an image file: qemu-img create -f qcow2 debian-sparc64.qcow2 60G Then i run qemu with the debian iso to boot, partition and install debian: qemu-system-sparc64 -nographic -m 4G -hda ./debian-sparc64.qcow2 -cdrom ./debian-10.0.0-sparc64-NETINST-1.iso This works how it should right to the end, at which the first strange thing happens: The system is going down NOW! Sent SIGTERM to all processes ? [16300.898259] twice on console to return to the boot prom [16300.899563] ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Reboot failed! ]--- But as this is right at the end, i think it should be ok. Then when i try to boot the freshly installed system, grub comes up and tries to boot which leads directly to this exception: error: canonicalise devname failed. Unhandled Exception 0x0000000000000030 PC = 0x00000000ffd0f16c NPC = 0x00000000ffd0f170 Stopping execution Also within the grub console i am unable to execute "ls" to list attached drives: grub> ls Unhandled Exception 0x0000000000000030 PC = 0x00000000ffd0f16c NPC = 0x00000000ffd0f170 Stopping execution Has anyone actually got it running and some idea what is wrong? Regards, Connor
