Package: qemu-system-misc Version: 1:2.12+dfsg-3+b1 Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer, qemu-system-alpha misses palcode. I had some good success with crosscompiling sources from here https://github.com/rth7680/qemu-palcode using gcc-alpha-linux-gnu / gcc-8-alpha-linux-gnu (8.2.0), and doing: make CROSS=alpha-linux-gnu- palcode-clipper Then passing palcode-clipper (156048 bytes) to qemu via `-bios` argument. It boots alpha kernel just fine (using `-linux` argument), and I was able to load debian installer from ports too (using -initrd and other flags). Also in official qemu repositoris I see palcode-clipper binary (152680 bytes): https://github.com/qemu/qemu/blob/master/pc-bios/palcode-clipper so I am not sure why it is missing in Debian. I was not able finy `palcode-clipper` in any package in Debian using `apt-file` search or packages.debian.org Best regards, Witold Baryluk -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.18.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/32 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages qemu-system-misc depends on: ii libaio1 0.3.111-1 ii libasound2 1.1.7-1 ii libbluetooth3 5.50-1 ii libbrlapi0.6 5.6-5 ii libc6 2.27-8 ii libcacard0 1:2.5.3-1 ii libcapstone3 3.0.5-3 ii libfdt1 1.4.7-3 ii libgcc1 1:8.2.0-9 ii libglib2.0-0 2.58.1-2 ii libgnutls30 3.5.19-1+b1 ii libjpeg62-turbo 1:1.5.2-2+b1 ii libncursesw6 6.1+20181013-1 ii libnettle6 3.4-1 ii libnuma1 2.0.12-1 ii libpixman-1-0 0.34.0-2 ii libpng16-16 1.6.34-2 ii libsasl2-2 2.1.27~rc8-1 ii libseccomp2 2.3.3-3 ii libspice-server1 0.14.0-1.2 ii libtinfo6 6.1+20181013-1 ii libusb-1.0-0 2:1.0.22-2 ii libusbredirparser1 0.8.0-1 ii libvdeplug2 2.3.2+r586-2.1 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.7-1 ii libxendevicemodel1 4.11.1~pre.20180911.5acdd26fdc+dfsg-5 ii libxenevtchn1 4.11.1~pre.20180911.5acdd26fdc+dfsg-5 ii libxenforeignmemory1 4.11.1~pre.20180911.5acdd26fdc+dfsg-5 ii libxengnttab1 4.11.1~pre.20180911.5acdd26fdc+dfsg-5 ii libxenmisc4.11 4.11.1~pre.20180911.5acdd26fdc+dfsg-5 ii libxenstore3.0 4.11.1~pre.20180911.5acdd26fdc+dfsg-5 ii qemu-system-common 1:2.12+dfsg-3+b1 ii qemu-system-data 1:2.12+dfsg-3 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.11.dfsg-1 Versions of packages qemu-system-misc recommends: ii ipxe-qemu 1.0.0+git-20161027.b991c67-1 ii qemu-system-gui 1:2.12+dfsg-3+b1 ii qemu-utils 1:2.12+dfsg-3+b1 ii seabios 1.11.1-1 Versions of packages qemu-system-misc suggests: pn qemu-block-extra <none> pn samba <none> pn vde2 <none> -- no debconf information
