Hi,
I'm having some troubles to get a live cd image to boot into qemu
ppc64 emulator with IBM OpenFirmware. I will also need to use this
image on a IBM pServer.
I used the Debian live build tool to create the .iso image. They just
provide best effort support for its tool and they will just accept
patches.
The options that they use to generate the .iso are:
yaboot)
GENISOIMAGE_OPTIONS="${GENISOIMAGE_OPTIONS} -r --iso-level 2
--netatalk -hfs -probe -map"
GENISOIMAGE_OPTIONS="${GENISOIMAGE_OPTIONS} binary/yaboot/hfs.map
--chrp-boot -part -no-desktop"
GENISOIMAGE_OPTIONS="${GENISOIMAGE_OPTIONS} -hfs-bless binary/yaboot
-hfs-volid Debian/Live_powerpc"
GENISOIMAGE_EXCLUDE="yaboot/hfs.map"
;;
According to the source here:
http://live.debian.net/gitweb/?p=live-build.git;a=blob_plain;f=helpers/lh_binary_iso;hb=428f4d972f38a4774107d5ea934774fca591f77b
When I try to boot the .iso I just get "E3404: Not a booteable
device!" I'm executing: "qemu-system-ppc64 -m 1024 -M pseries -cdrom
binary.iso -boot d"
This is my CD structure:
root at debianppc:/build/binary# ls -R
.:
live md5sum.txt yaboot
./live:
filesystem.packages initrd.img-2.6.32-5-powerpc
vmlinux-2.6.32-5-powerpc64
filesystem.packages-remove initrd.img-2.6.32-5-powerpc64
filesystem.squashfs vmlinux-2.6.32-5-powerpc
./yaboot:
boot.msg hfs.map ofboot.b pegasos yaboot yaboot.conf
I'm stuck here, any help will be really appreciated.
Regards
Matias
