[rhelv6-list] qemu-system-ppc with rhel-server-6.6-ppc64-dvd.iso

[Gary Gatling]

Has anyone been able to emulate a PPC system to run RHEL 6 in qemu? I had a
build for epel 6 that was failing:

https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=9590842

But I do not have the money to buy a power system and so I was hoping to
figure out what is wrong by taking a closer look via ppc emulation.

But when I try to boot it on a fedora 21 laptop I get

qemu-system-ppc -boot d -cdrom rhel-server-6.6-ppc64-dvd.iso -m 1024 -hda
ppcdisk.img

Maybe some other distro would work better for this then fedora 21? Or is
there something I have to type at openboot prompt to get the installer
started?

I can run

qemu-system-ppc -boot d -cdrom rhel-server-6.6-ppc64-dvd.iso -m 1024 -hda
ppcdisk.img -prom-env 'auto-boot?=false'

and then I can do a "dir" on the dvd iso. I just can't seem to boot it.

Thanks for any ideas anyone has.
