From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/124 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/125.1 Description of problem: VirtualPC for Mac is a x86 emulator that runs on G4 macintoshes and emulates an x86 enough to run windows, linux, etc. I installed fedora test2 from cdrom images just fine, but when I try to run it, immediately after the message "Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel" has been printed on the console, VirtualPC halts the emulation and pops up the dialog "An unrecoverable processor error has been encountered" and gives you a button press to reboot. Searching the web gives one other person with this same problem, but I see no response. The cdrom images are: -rwxr--r-- 1 wagle staff 665059328 19 Apr 14:57 FC2-test2-i386-disc1.iso -rwxr--r-- 1 wagle staff 665550848 19 Apr 14:59 FC2-test2-i386-disc2.iso -rwxr--r-- 1 wagle staff 665747456 19 Apr 15:01 FC2-test2-i386-disc3.iso -rwxr--r-- 1 wagle staff 180813824 19 Apr 15:01 FC2-test2-i386-disc4.iso and the md5sums are: fbf0c082c6096179bc4292086e39ecbc FC2-test2-i386-disc1.iso 91cb7083c8a5d6bb003d09085d1f8753 FC2-test2-i386-disc2.iso 575e626c79503796ce11722861e2e885 FC2-test2-i386-disc3.iso 0e7be101b0e233e273f386983bfa28b4 FC2-test2-i386-disc4.iso I can run "linux rescue" from the install cdrom image. cat /proc/cpuinfo gives: processor : 0 vendor_id : ConnectixCPU cpu family : 6 model : 8 model name : ff/08 stepping : 4 cpu MHz: 486.364 ... cpuid level 2 wp : yes flags : fpu vme pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 pge cmov mmx bogomips : 2465.79 Earlier versions of virtualpc indicated that it ran a phoenix bios, but I haven't managed to interact with the bios with either VirtualPC 5.0 or Virtual 6.1.1. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install fedora test2 from cdrom images on a macosx 10.3 G4 running virtual PC 6.1.1. this is painfully slow (10-12 hours), but it works fine. 2. try to boot the installed os. this doesnt work. Actual Results: the virtualpc emulator aborts with the message "An unrecoverable processor error has been encountered" immediately after the linux boot process displays the message "Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel". Expected Results: It should have continued the boot process. Additional info: The install and rescue kernels on the cdrom work fine. The kernel installed on the (virtual) disk doesn't work. This might be a problem that VirtualPC should fix. But if we could tell them whats going wrong, then they would be more motivated to fix it. If you don't have a Macintosh that runs virtualpc, I would be happy to perform any experiments and data collection you need.
