- QEMU malta emulation is not really complete, to put it mildly
Out of curiosity, what parts did you miss?
Like, for example, the PCI stuff. So I can use the network card.
PCI stuff in the QEMU/Malta works fine, but pseudo-bootrom
does not perform PCI enumeration and leaves uninitialized PCI BARs.
Linux MIPS/Malta 2.4 can not perform PCI enumeration too. The LANCE
Ethernet driver *requres* a pre-initialized BARs. The situation even worse,
since current Linux 2.4 can't be even built with NEW_PCI and PCI_AUTO
options at all (due to linkage error).

There is the same PCI problem with NetBSD/evbmips and seems VxWorks/Malta.
And yes, I am aware of YAMON.
AFAIK, YAMON may runs on the MIPS hardware only, and may not
be redistribuded in the source or binary form.
Anyway, YAMON binary does not work on the Qemu/Malta. The Galileo
chip is far more complicated then Qemu emulation. It contains four DMA
channels, four timers e.t.c. e.t.c.
I recommend to improve the Qemu Malta emulation, and make it work with
2.4 Malta kernels. (ISTR it used to work, so it shouldn't need a lot to
get there.)
I'm sure that improving the Qemu Malta emulation is a very noble goal,
but for people that need a working 2.4 kernel NOW, my patch could be
useful. Having the QEMU target in 2.6 surely helped me.
The only thing we need is a good bootrom (BIOS) for the MIPS/Malta
(Free-YAMON ;)
As a quick'n'disty solution you could initialize PCI BARs of the
device number 12 (0x0b, LANCE) with GDB:
(gdb) set variable {int}0xbbe00cf8=0x80005810 <--- I/O address
(gdb) set variable {int}0xbbe00cfc=0x00002001
(gdb) set variable {int}0xbbe00cf8=0x80005814 <--- Mem address
(gdb) set variable {int}0xbbe00cfc=0xfc200000
(gdb) set variable {int}0xbbe00cf8=0x80005804 <--- Enable Mem and I/O
(gdb) set variable {int}0xbbe00cfc=0x00000003
(gdb) set variable {int}0xbbe00cf8=0x8000583c <---- IRQ=10 tied to Pin A
(gdb) set variable {int}0xbbe00cfc=0xff06010a
(gdb) cont
Continuing.
