PCI bus not available for hda

I'm trying to boot Mac OS 9.2.2 image in order to install it on a qcow disk image. I'm using Linux Mint MATE 20 and QEMU emulator version 4.2.0 (Debian 1:4.2-3ubuntu6.3). When I boot, I've got this error message and boot fails :

$ /usr/bin/qemu-system-ppc -monitor stdio -soundhw hda -k fr -machine accel=tcg -m 512 -cdrom /home/david/Bureau/debian-10.0.0-powerpc-NETINST-1.iso -drive file="/home/david/.aqemu/iMacG3_hard_disk_HDA.img",if=ide,index=0 -virtfs local,id=shared_folder_dev_0,path=/home/david/Bureau,security_model=none,mount_tag=shared0 -boot order=dc,menu=on -net nic,macaddr=00:a2:6d:80:10:8f,model=rtl8139 -net user -net user,smb=/home/david/Bureau -rtc base=localtime -name "Debian + LXDE sur iMac G3" -M mac99
QEMU 4.2.0 monitor - type 'help' for more information

MLas OS 9.2.2 ISO is here if you need to test : https://infolib.re/tests/OS9General.iso

You have several problems in your command line. For one you have -cdrom 
debian-10.0.0-powerpc-NETINST-1.iso insead of MacOS-9.2.2.iso but your 
problem is the -soundhw hda option. Just remove this as it does not make 
sense to add Intel HDA audio to a Macintosh and it won't work. Sound is 
not currently supported in QEMU for MacOS guest yet, if you want 
experimental build with sound support for running MacOS see forum at 
emaculation.com.


Sorry, I made a mistake, I'm trying to boot PowerPC Debian edition, not Mac OS 9.2.2. I removed the sound card and it boots now. Thank uou very much for your help.
