Some initial queries...


 

I have seen the s390x version of qemu mentioned at various points.
Does qeme supporting s390x run anything besides an s390x Linux guest?

Harold Grovesteen


 

Hello Harold;


I am running some game called moon-buggy; and I ran a few versions of s390 linux; Debian, Red-hat; and even Fedora.? I have to look around to find them.

#!/bin/sh
qemu-system-s390x -machine s390-ccw-virtio -cpu max,zpci=on -serial mon:stdio -nographic -m 1G \
?????????????????????? -kernel s390-bb.kernel \
?????????????????????? -initrd s390-moon-buggy.initrd




regards;

Rahim????

What I am thinking is running some of my bare-metal programs with qemu for s390x. ?Normally those are initiated by an IPL. ?Does qemu care what it runs. ?

Are there any rules for the "guest" code? ?Is there documentation anywhere for s390x qemu? ?Maybe that is where I should start.

As you can tell I know nothing about qemu for s390x.

SATK's (Stand Alone Tool Kit) goal is to run on any mainframe "platform". ?I mostly use Hercules, but SATK software has run on simh 360, modern mainframe hardware (z/VM), so qemu, if it can, should be in the list. ?It might also give me access to support that Hercules presumably will get eventually, but does not yet have, for example vector instructions, CZAM or TCW's. ?Before I would need to consider those things I would need to get it up an running with SATK software. ?So here I am. ?The third member to the group, I guess.

Thanks,
Harold
