Description of problem: On a Rawhide x86_64 host, create an image file with qemu-img, then try using qemu-system-ppc to create a ppc guest with the Fedora 12 ppc DVD image: qemu-img create Fedora_12_ppc.img 20G qemu-system-ppc -hda Fedora_12_ppc.img -cdrom Fedora-12-ppc-DVD.iso This fails with the error cd:0,\ppc\chrp\yaboot.conf: Unknown or corrupt filesystem Can't open config file Welcome to yaboot version 1.3.14 (Red Hat 1.3.14-23.fc12) Enter "help" to get some basic usage information boot: The same exact procedure works with an x86_64 guest - the Fedora 12 install screen appears. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): qemu-system-ppc-0.11.0-12.fc13.x86_64 How reproducible: always Additional info: Same basic problem as bug #246066.
I get exact same error message attempting to boot Fedora-12-ppc-DVD.iso on a ppc32 guest using virt-manager / libvirt on a F12 x86_64 host. qemu-system-ppc-0.11.0-12.fc12.x86_64 F12 x86_64 host up to date as of today.
Same error with qemu-system-ppc-0.12.1.2-3.fc13.x86_64 in Rawhide.
Same error with qemu-system-ppc-0.12.2-5.fc13.x86_64 in Rawhide.
The file \ppc\chrp\yaboot.conf does not exist on the ISO. On boot: prompt type : For a 64bit guest: cd:0,\ppc\chrp\yaboot conf=\ppc\ppc64\yaboot.conf For a 32bit guest: cd:0,\ppc\chrp\yaboot conf=\ppc\ppc\yaboot.conf That's it.

Ouups.. it goes better with the device : For a 64bit guest: cd:0,\ppc\chrp\yaboot conf=cd:0,\ppc\ppc64\yaboot.conf For a 32bit guest: cd:0,\ppc\chrp\yaboot conf=cd:0,\ppc\ppc\yaboot.conf
I think for 32-bit PPC that should be cd:0,\ppc\chrp\yaboot conf=cd:0,\ppc\ppc32\yaboot.conf It appears to be running now - not knowing anything about PPC in general or yaboot, what is the significance of this? Does it mean that the PPC DVD image was incorrectly composed, and that this should be closed as NOTABUG?
I'm getting a kernel panic shortly after the installer boots (this is on Fedora 12 x86_64 host, ppc32 guest, using the Fedora 12 32-bit ppc DVD ISO).
Also panics on a Rawhide x86_64 host with ppc32 guest using the Fedora 12 32-bit ppc DVD ISO file.
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 13 development cycle. Changing version to '13'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Still getting the kernel panic on Rawhide x86_64 host with Fedora 12 ppc32 guest (using ISO file). qemu-system-ppc-0.12.3-5.fc14.x86_64
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 14 development cycle. Changing version to '14'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Still broken in Rawhide with qemu-system-ppc-0.13.0-0.5.20100809git25fdf4a.fc15.x86_64.
Closing this as qemu-system-ppc has been removed from Fedora support.
