I'm running these: libvirt-0.6.2-12.fc11.x86_64 libvirt-python-0.6.2-12.fc11.x86_64 virt-manager-0.7.0-5.fc11.x86_64 qemu-system-ppc-0.10.5-1.fc11.x86_64 qemu-system-x86-0.10.5-1.fc11.x86_64 qemu-common-0.10.5-1.fc11.x86_64 qemu-kvm-tools-0.10.5-1.fc11.x86_64 qemu-kvm-0.10.5-1.fc11.x86_64 qemu-img-0.10.5-1.fc11.x86_64 When I try to create a qemu ppc virtual machine using an F9 DVD boot iso, the machine starts and leaves me in the openbios. I don't know how to make it boot and typing various boot incarnations found on the net just results in an 'ok' response.
openbios-ppc-1.0-1.fc11 I assume ? I've just tried 'qemu-system-ppc boot.iso' (latest rawhide ppc boot.iso) and it gets a bit further, failing with "yaboot.conf: Unknown or corrupt filesystem"
Yes, openbios-ppc-1.0-1.fc11.noarch.

upstream openbios snapshot may have the problem fixed according to some mails and its SVN log but it failed to build for me in Koji: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=1830225&name=build.log [...] GEN openbios.dict /usr/bin/ld: Warning: openbios-unix uses hard float, target/arch/unix/unix.o uses soft float [...] libmodules.a(elf-loader.o): In function `elf_loader_init_program': /builddir/build/BUILD/openbios-r634/obj-ppc/../modules/elf-loader.c:77: undefined reference to `flush_icache_range' libmodules.a(ofmem_common.o): In function `get_ram_size': /builddir/build/BUILD/openbios-r634/obj-ppc/../modules/ofmem_common.c:35: undefined reference to `ofmem_arch_get_private' [...]
I got beyond the "Unknown or corrupt filesystem" error with latest built from the SVN (tried 2010-03-03). It builts fine, but there is a problem with linking if GCC-4.4.3 is used. Built with GCC-4.4.1 without problems (dist-f11 target).

openbios-ppc-1.0-2.fc12.noarch qemu-system-ppc-0.13.0-1.fc14.x86_64 Fedora-12-ppc-netinst.iso
Due to Bug 679179 qemu-system-ppc is even no longer present in F-16.
Openbios has been retired in Fedora, and f14 has been end of life for a while, so closing this WONTFIX
