Re: [Qemu-devel] Good news for Gentoo Linux users
I searched in Gentoo Forums, and the link was incorrect, and the correction posted went to a 0.7.2 source and there are some differences. Mine doesnt use FMOD, and works in x86, amd64, ppc and sparc gentoos, however the one in the bugs is only for x86 and amd64. Also mine includes directly the digest so only decompression is needed.

[Qemu-devel] Saving Sparc NVRAM contents between QEMU sessions
Hi Is there any functionality, existing or planned or patched, to save Sparc NVRAM contents between QEMU sessions and reload it when QEMU starts up ? I'm working with some of the others on the OpenBIOS list to try and get QEMU / OpenBIOS to be able to boot SunOS 4 and Solaris It'd be nice if we could get QEMU to save the NVRAM to a file between sessions so that it's possible to either (a) resume where we left off, or (b) be able to specify different NVRAM configurations according to what we are trying to accomplish e.g. boot selection, HOSTID setting, etc. Obviously, writing a save / restore function for NVRAM is not terribly difficult, but how should it be approached the QEMU way ? Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks Jason ___ Qemu-devel mailing list Qemu-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/qemu-devel

AFICT, no. Obviously, writing a save / restore function for NVRAM is not terribly difficult, but how should it be approached the QEMU way ? I think the spirit of QEmu would dictate to have a command line option pointing to a file. This file (provided it exists already) would be read in on startup, and written to, whenever the NVRAM changes (it would be best, probably to just fopen()/fseek()/fwrite()/fclose() rather than mmap()ing the file, since MinGW32 either does not support that, or not very well -- I don't remember which of these).

So I'll send you a patch that changes the name 'proll.elf' to 'openbios-builtin.elf' (or maybe it's better to use something like 'openbios-sparc32', simplifies the code) and a sample OpenBIOS file and that's it? Yes. Plus documentation bits.

I didn't describe the reproduction steps (./config/scripts/switch-arch cross-sparc32, make, cp obj-sparc32/openbios-builtin.elf.nostrip openbios-sparc32), as I'll propose on OpenBIOS side some changes to make this a bit easier.

[Qemu-devel] Recent patches for qemu block-cow.c etc breaks Win32 build becaus e of fsync()
Hi list Looking at the code that was recently added via http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2006-06/msg00025.html There were a lot of fsync() calls made, but this breaks the QEMU build process on Win32 because fsync() is not available. Suggest something like #ifndef _WIN32 fsync(blah); #else _commit(blah); #endif which seems to work OK for me under MinGW / MSYS environment. The _commit() function seems to be what Microsoft recommend to use, and it compiles and runs OK with that in there, so I guess that MinGW is happy. I'm still trying to get CVS up and running properly so I can contribute patches in the right format.

Fabrice then wrote: Good to see that you can use OpenBIOS now ! I'll apply your patch ASAP. Might I add my thoughts on this subject ? How about allowing the BIOS filename to be specified from the QEMU command line also ? Yes, if the BIOS is not specified then we should use a reasonable default file instead. But, if for example we specifically want to choose some other BIOS file, then how about a -bios filename option so that we can use whatever BIOS we like as an override. e..g if the Sparc OpenBIOS developers might like the concept of having different QEMU invocation scripts that they can call up depending on whether they want to use a stable BIOS or rely on the latest SVN snapshot, they should be able to do that too, without having to have a separate directory with another copy of QEMU and associated disk image files in it. Maybe they want to compare against PROLL for some reason too. It is all much simpler if you can just specify the BIOS file rather than having to move BIOS files around.
