That would explain how this can work... Anyway, having a quick look at the sources, it seems to me that the ppce500 / mpc8544ds machines in QEMU do not support any mass storage controllor by default, so you got to specify the interface type. For example: -drive if=virtio,file=... or: -device virtio-scsi -drive if=none,id=c1,file=... \ -device scsi-cd,drive=c1 Same for the graphics card, there does not seem to be support for a default here, so try to specify it like this: -device VGA or: -device virtio-vga HTH, Thomas > — Christian > > Sent from my iPhone > >> On 18.
