[Qemu-devel] SPARC boot problems (same on smp)

[Jose Renau]

 Hello,

 I am trying to install the debian sparc, but it crashes when the 
kernel boots.

 If I try the aurora (aurora-1.0-sparc-disc1.iso), it goes further, but 
it is
not able start the installation (when I set the esp driver to install 
the cdrom it
crashes badly)
