I have created a MoL/KVM deb package for these following systems:
  • A-EON Live Remix Distribution
  • Lubuntu 12.04
  • Lubuntu 14.10
Download: mol-kvm_0.9.73.0-ubuntu_powerpc.deb

If you want to allow normal accounts to run MoL through startmol script, you have to use dpkg-statoverride:

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg-statoverride --update --add root root 4755 /usr/local/lib/mol/0.9.73/bin/mol

I have figured out, that Mac OS X only boots with the RC1 of kernel 3.17 or higher. Mac OS X doesn't boot with kernel 3.14 and 3.15. I could boot Mac OS X 10.3.4 Panther with the kernel 3.17 too.

Thank you very much :-)

I installed it on Ubuntu Remix 12.04 with th latest 3.17 kernel. However it will not start :-(

This is what I get:

Code: Select all

benny@benny-X1000:~$ uname -a
Linux benny-X1000 3.17.0-rc7_A-EON_AmigaOne_X1000_Nemo #1 SMP Mon Sep 29 06:43:44 CEST 2014 ppc64 ppc64 ppc64 GNU/Linux

Btw: As far as I can see i need to change this file for my needs:

/etc/mol/molrc.osx

It is at the moment as below. And I need to change this line:

blkdev: /home/christian/virtual_machines/tiger2.img -rw -boot -force

To where I have my bootdrive:

blkdev: /home/benny/PantherImage.img -rw -boot -force

Code: Select all

#
#  Mac-on-Linux master configuration file for MacOS X booting

# OS X Volumes
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
#	Volumes to be mounted in MacOS X are specified through the
#	blkdev keyword:
#
#		blkdev:		<device>   [flags]
#
#	where <device> can be a complete disk (/dev/hda), a single
#	partition (/dev/hda7) or a disk image.
#
#	The following flags are supported
#	
#		-rw/-ro		read-write / read-only [default]
#		-force		force usage of device (be careful!)
#		-boot		boot from this disk
#		-boot1		boot from this disk (ignore other -boot flags)
#		-whole		export the entire device (including
#				any non-HFS partitions). BE CAREFUL!
#		-cd		CDROM/DVD
#
#	MOL will boot from CD if it invoked through 'startmol -X --cdboot'.

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# SCSI configuration (also relevant for IDE CDs and other SCSI-like devices)
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# By default, MOL automatically scans for non-harddisk type SCSI devices.
# If only specified SCSI devices are to be used by mol, change the
# the autoprobe setting below.
#
# Note: IDE, firewire and USB devices typically show up as SCSI devices.


autoprobe_scsi:		no	

# If SCSI autoprobing is disabled then devices must be exported manually

#scsi_dev:		"0:0:0"		# host/channel/id
#scsi_dev:		"1:0:0"		# 



#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# USB Configuration
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# Generic USB support. Devices that are _not_ claimed by specific
# USB drivers are seen by MOL. Note: Make sure the kernel is compiled
# with 'Preliminary USB device filesystem' support. Also, for best effect,
# turn off drivers for specific USB devices (like 'USB Scanner support').

enable_usb:	no	

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# PCIproxy Configuration
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# MOL can be configured to make PCI devices of the host machine available to the
# guest OS. You will have to make sure the linux kernel isn't using the device
# itself by disabling/unloading the driver (if it exists). Devices to be proxied
# have an entry here that gives the pci address as first argument and a an
# optional second argument that is a filename containing a template for the
# device tree node of the device to be proxied (MOL format, get a template by
# running the ofdump utility included in the MOL package). This template can be
# used to specify address mappings by hand, setting additional properties etc.

# enable the pciproxy module
#enable_pciproxy:	yes

# Airport Extreme (Broadcom 4320) Card (Second is with optional ofdump)
#pci_proxy_device:	0001:10:12.0
#pci_proxy_device:	0001:10:12.0 ${etc}/pci80211.dnode

processor:	G3	
#cmdline: "-v"
#cmdline: "-s"
play_startboing:	yes
Any suggestions?

You have to load the KVM-PR kernel module before you start MoL.

Code: Select all

sudo modprobe kvm-pr
If you want, that the A-EON Live Remix distribution loads the kvm-pr kernel module automatically at boot time, then you have to add the line kvm-pr to the config file /etc/modules.

You have forgotten to copy the kernel modules directory to /lib/modules. You find this directory in the package vmlinux-3.17.0-rc7-KVM-PR-FTRACE-AmigaOneX1000.tar.bz2.

Now I got MOL running :-). However it freezes during boot (I "found" a PearPC made Jaguar image) when it comes to the "+ Video Driver v1.12" section. See this https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/139090/MOL.png screenshot. When I press the close gadget it gives me the last couple of lines. Any suggestions?

Oh sorry. I didn't mention it that MoL doesn't support Mac OS X 10.2.X Jaguar. I told it Alexander Graf the developer of MoL/KVM. He told me, he will investigate the problem with 10.2 Jaguar. Currently only Mac OS X 10.3.X Panther and 10.4.XX Tiger are supported. Sorry.

I don't have Windows 95 installed. But I have found a good guide about installing Windows 95 on QEMU.
