Mac OS X leopard doesn't detect disk.

Post by win.exe »

Hi,
I want to run Mac OS X leopard in QEMU but I have a problem where leopard doesn't detect my disk :evil:. I have tried qcow2, vmdk, and raw disks. The command I use to create my disk is

Code: Select all

qemu-img create -f raw leopard.img 15G
for the raw disk.

Code: Select all

qemu-img create -f vmdk leopard.vmdk 15G
for the vmdk one.

Code: Select all

qemu-img create -f qcow2 leopard.qcow2 15G
and for the qcow2 one.
I use QEMU 5.1.50 and The qemu.bat I use to start QEMU is

Code: Select all

rem -device usb-storage,drive=fat32 -drive file=fat:rw:transfer,id=fat32,format=raw,if=none 
qemu-system-ppc.exe -L pc-bios -boot d -M mac99,via=pmu -m 1024 ^
-prom-env "auto-boot?=false" -prom-env "boot-args=-v" -prom-env "vga-ndrv?=true" -prom-env "boot-device=hd:10,\\:tbxi" ^
-drive file=leopard.img,format=raw,media=disk ^
-drive file="C:\Users\mehar\Downloads\osx leopard install.iso",format=raw,media=cdrom ^
-sdl ^
-netdev user,id=network01 -device sungem,netdev=network01 ^
-device VGA,edid=on 
if my qemu.bat is faulty.
I also see in the verbose startup which says

Code: Select all

ATA: Device wake up failed (0x00000003), terminating device...
disk0: no such device.
disk0: media is not present.
In System Profiler it shows QEMU HARDDISK.

Never mind, it seems that QEMU (or leopard) didn’t like the hard disk order on my Laptop. It detects the hard disk with that change now.
