I am sorry to bring us all down to earth, we all had wished that this stuff
gets finally fixed, but it seems that those patches applied to QEMU master have
killed QEMU user mode.
I am referring to the user mode fixes after commit
0aef4261ac0ec9089ade0e3a92f986cb4ba7317e
I had QEMU working on PowerPC and ARM in chroots from the Linux versions:
- Fedora 11 / 12
- Ubuntu 9.04, 9.10, 10.04
- Debian 4, 5 and Sid
for ARM and PowerPC. My host OS is openSUSE 11.2 using a 2.6.31 kernel, or
openSUSE 11.1. All machines are 64 Bit machines.
Now I have the situation that all the listed target chroots fail, except:
- Fedora 11 / 12 @ ARM
As you might guess (or even know), I am one of the Open Build Service
(http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service/Testing) developers and can automatedly
setup and test such a big number of Targets and automatically run testsuites or
compile jobs on them. The last fixes in the QEMU user mode memory allocator
before your rewrite came from Jan-Simon and me.
I think its long overdue to fix the user mode stuff, so I am happy that now
someone that knows more about QEMU than me cares about. SO my offering is to
help to track this down and fix it. But I would be happy if you give me a hint
about what your changes are really doing to track down the problem.
