I've tried to create a F12 ppc guest in a F12 x86_64 host, using F12's
Virtual Machine Manager and with qemu-system-ppc installed. It's
reading a verified copy of Fedora-12-ppc-DVD.iso from the HDD. It fails
with
CDROM boot failure code : 0004
Boot failed: could not read the boot disk
FATAL: No bootable device.
(Screenshot attached.) At least this is an improvement over F11 which
would generate a kernel failure instead. Is this supposed to work? The
page
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/KVM_and_QEMU_merge
claims that it is.
Were I you, I would take all the virtual "dumb it down" stuff out of the
picture, create a 6GB or so qcow2 device with qemu-img, then run the ppc from
the command line:
qemu-system-ppc64 -, 1200 -hda mydisk.img -cdrom install.iso -boot d -net nic
look at the man page, those may not be exactly what you need for your system.
I have found that this works when more convenient tools don't, due either to
limitations in the tool or in the doc, or in my understanding.
If this works it will point to the need to understand the convient tool better.
