Re: [Qemu-devel] [Qemu-ppc] qemu does not support PAPR

[Stuart Yoder]

Based on your original description of the problem, I thought the error was that libvirt was starting a PAPR machine instead of an e500 machine.   So my take is that libvirt needed to be rebuilt with the patches to support e500 machines (that I mentioned in my last email).

 

If you are actually able to start e500 machines successfully with libvirt, then the problem must lie with how libguestfs interfaces to libvirt or something.   I have never used libguestfs, and don’t think I can help you with that.

I think you will have to build/install libvirt yourself on ubuntu with the
Freescale patches.

For SDK 1.4, you can see the Yocto recipe used here:
http://git.freescale.com/git/cgit.cgi/ppc/sdk/meta-fsl-networking.git/tree/recipes-append/libvirt

...we use the stock Yocto libvirt recipe and and apply 2 patches.

The 2 patches are here:
http://git.freescale.com/git/cgit.cgi/ppc/sdk/meta-fsl-networking.git/tree/recipes-append/libvirt/files

I have not built libvirt from scratch myself, so can't help you there.

Thanks,
Stuart
