Thanks for all the help Laurent! I'm new to git so not surre how to 'properly' revert a previous commit on top of master, so I'll google, but if you have some a good link please do send. Also, I've heard of the term "bisect" for figuring out at which commit something breaks and if there were some

With some precautionary measures I think I can provide it. Not sure what of our drivers may already be compiled in etc so I need to send it to you privately so only you have access for testing etc after which you would delete it once issue fixed or discovered etc. Is it possible to send you private

Hope you enjoyed the Holidays, Happy 2020! I would really appreciate if you could confirm for me if virtio works fine for you with ppc -M mpc8544ds with older Linux guest kernels like 2.6.32 thanks! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subs

fyi from what I recall guest kernel was built using mpc85xx_defconfig with some additions like virtio etc. If virtio is working for you just fine using same command as mine, then perhaps its some peculiarity to do with my specific guest kernel or kernel version?

Did you try with just a basic virtio disk and it works for you? Because even a basic virtio drive addition fails for me, even this fails on higher than 2.8.1 For example: qemu-system-ppc -M mpc8544ds -nographic -kernel /home/me/boot/uImage-2.6.32 -append "root=/dev/vda rw" -drive file=/home/me/m

Curious: Is your guest kernel >=3.6 with qemu-ppce500 config ie qemu_ppce500 defined etc? In case u-boot loads/maps uImage format kernel differently have you tried uImage vs vmlinux? And are you able to boot ok with an mpc... machine instead of ppce500 by specifying a dtb file or dtb compatibil
