Le sam. 25 juil. 2020 à 20:48, Mark Cave-Ayland a écrit : > -prom-env 'boot-device=hd:,\\BootX' Nope; however going for the full paths (both device from syslog and file from looking in the partition - turns out it mirrors OSX's bootloader) like this: -prom-env 'boot-device=/pci@f200/mac-io@c/ata-3@2/@0:2,\System\Library\CoreServices\BootX' loaded grub, so it's on the drive. At that point there's no grub.cfg, so you just get the command-line. Instead of figuring out how to load the kernel, I just re-booted the VM with -kernel/-initrd/-append, then re-installed grub (it re-failed with the same error, of course), then did a manual update-grub to get the grub.cfg. After that, using the '-prom-env' above allowed me to boot the VM directly. There were some errors/warnings from the firmware it seems, but I eventually got a login prompt. Out of curiosity, I installed a newer kernel (the CD installer used 5.6, I added 5.7), install was flawless including the update of grub.cfg, and the VM rebooted directly on 5.7. So it seems if qemu let 'nvsetenv' do its thing, the installer would have no issue (at least with this particular firmware/qemu combination). Cordially, -- Romain Dolbeau

You can just skip the failed installation of GRUB and continue with no bootloader. Then extract kernel and initrd from the VM image and pass them to QEMU with "-kernel" and "-initrd" respectively. You don't really need bootloader for a QEMU anyway as you can always specify kernel and initrd through parameters as explained above. Adrian -- .''`.

Okay so it seems like OpenBIOS can't locate the bootloader on its own. Does it work if you try adding the following to the QEMU command line: -prom-env 'boot-device=hd:,\\BootX' or: -prom-env 'boot-device=hd:,\BootX' ATB, Mark.

Thanks Romain! AFAICT the only errors related to grub are these: Jul 25 08:52:06 grub-installer: info: Installing grub on 'dummy' Jul 25 08:52:07 grub-installer: info: grub-install does not support --no-floppy Jul 25 08:52:07 grub-installer: info: Running chroot /target grub-install --force --macppc-directory=/boot/grub Jul 25 08:52:08 grub-installer: Installing for powerpc-ieee1275 platform.

Jul 25 08:52:15 grub-installer: You will have to set `boot-device' variable manually. At the IEEE1275 prompt, type: Jul 25 08:52:15 grub-installer: setenv boot-device /pci@f200/mac-io@c/ata-3@2/@0:2,\\BootX Jul 25 08:52:15 grub-installer: . Jul 25 08:52:16 grub-installer: error: Running 'grub-install --force --macppc-directory=/boot/grub' failed. That's complaining that nvsetenv fails which is because QEMU doesn't emulate persistent NVRAM so that is to be expected (and indeed, yaboot raised an error in exactly the same way during installation). First thing to ask is does your newly created vm-ppc HD image boot when you change the "-boot" parameter to "-boot c"? ATB, Mark.

I tried to mount the qcow image, it failed. I tried to boot Debian installed in the VM with -append root= -kernel -initrd options as explained here https://www.emaculation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=34=10736=67023#p67023 but it failed because I don't know the names of the files (vmlinuz ? init.img ?) and where they are (/dev/sda2 for /boot, /dev/sda3 for / ?). -- Installer facilement Linux : http://infolib.re .--. |o_o | ||_/ | //\\Envoyé depuis mon Linux (| |) / \_ _/ \ \___)=(___/

I need the log of the Linux system running *inside* the VM that gets created *while* the installation was running. When you boot the installer, it will actually boot a Linux live system and that system logs to /var/log/syslog in the installer’s system environment. Adrian

Please keep in mind that GRUB uses different installation mechanisms depending on the hardware used. It’s impossible to debug David’s problem unless he provides the installation log through syslog as I requested earlier. Debugging this without a log file is like looking into a crystal ball. Adrian

Thanks for testing. There is no need to test the GRUB installation at the moment, but I'm still interested in boot tests of the image itself and reports in cases where it doesn't work.
