I'm playing around with KVM on an ebony board (440GP), just trying to
get it to work, really. I followed the instructions at
http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/PowerPC and I used the 2.6.33 branch of
the kvm kernel repository. When I try to run kvm, qemu appears to abort
and actually logs me off.
Doing a little debugging, I found that qemu_memalign() is calling abort
because posix_memalign() is failing. I haven't done any more debugging
than that.
Since I already had to fix a kernel issue to get it the kernel code to
initialize since the platform was reported as ppc440gp, not ppc440, I'm
wondering how hard it's going to be to get this working. Does anyone
have this working at all? Should I back up to a previous version? Any
help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
-corey
Here's the change I made to get kvm in the kernel to initialize:
