home-compiled QEMU 4.1 & Debian's 4.2, using a clone of the PPC64EL
filesystem (ZFS send/recv). I don't see more than 100% load from QEMU,

spin up the other cores...

ou'd run KVM rather than TCG, so PPC64BE ... I'm not sure
you can get MTTCG doing PPC64LE-on-PPC64BE... and most PPC64BE systems
are old and not particularly fast, emulating PPC64LE on them isn't
going to be fast :-(

only weirdness I could notice is that my swap space wasn't mounted.
No surprise, I think the on-disk format for the swap space hardwire
the page size. There's even a '-p' option to 'mkswap' to specify a
page size when creating the swap space.

4k pages on your G5, or only 4k?
In the second case, could you try with 64k to see if you can reproduce
the crash?
To Jeroen - is your iMac booting with 4k or 64k pages? Same question
for the crashing G5, though I assume the answer is going to be 64k
there.

Could you share the screen/log of the crash?
For my G5 with 5.5rc1 I have one, but the photo is terrible:

There's been some commits in that subsystem, so I tried again; as of

If you mean another type of machine using ppc970, I'd like to know the
