<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>== Guest Kernel ==<br /> <br /> The &#039;&#039;guest&#039;&#039; kernel is the one you run inside the virtual machine. Our virtual machines emulate the 440EP Bamboo reference board. The guest kernel need not be modified except for one catch: we do not emulate some of the IBM PowerPC-specific SoC peripherals.<br /> <br /> === Download ===<br /> <br /> You can use the same source for the guest kernel as the host kernel.<br /> <br /> We have only tested the Bamboo platform support in recent Linux kernels (2.6.25+, using &lt;code&gt;arch/powerpc&lt;/code&gt; rather than &lt;code&gt;arch/ppc&lt;/code&gt;).<br /> <br /> === Configure ===<br /> <br /> Configure for the &#039;&#039;&#039;Bamboo platform&#039;&#039;&#039;.<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Disable&#039;&#039;&#039; the EMAC Ethernet device driver; Qemu does not emulate this device. Instead, &#039;&#039;&#039;enable&#039;&#039;&#039; the VirtIO network driver. Also &#039;&#039;&#039;enable&#039;&#039;&#039; the VirtIO block driver.<br /> <br /> <br /> CONFIG_BAMBOO=y<br /> # CONFIG_IBM_NEW_EMAC is not set<br /> CONFIG_VIRTIO_BLK=y<br /> CONFIG_VIRTIO_NET=y<br /> CONFIG_VIRTIO=y<br /> CONFIG_VIRTIO_RING=y<br /> CONFIG_VIRTIO_PCI=y<br /> # CONFIG_VIRTIO_BALLOON is not set<br /> <br /> <br /> === Build ===<br /> <br /> &lt;code&gt;make uImage&lt;/code&gt; to produce &lt;code&gt;arch/powerpc/boot/uImage&lt;/code&gt;. This is the file that you will specify on the qemu command line.<br /> <br /> ----<br /> [[Category:PowerPC]]</div>
