qemu-system-m68k virt machine doesn't boot Linux kernels using 68020, 68030 and 68060 CPUs Description of problem: QEMU doesn't seem to be able to start Linux kernels using a CPU other than a 68040 (which does work fine) To rule out host issues, the issue is reproductible on Debian Unstable amd64 (with version QEMU emulator version 9.2.0)(Debian 1:9.2.0+ds-5)) To rule out cross-compilation issues, the kernel has been rebuild inside a virt machine (using a 68040 CPU), running Debian Unstable Each CPU model below gets stuck early before kernel boot during the ABCGHIJK thing. The Kernel doesn't seem to boot and QEMU process eat 100% of a CPU physical core **68020** ``` qemu-system-m68k -M virt -cpu m68060 -m 1G -nographic -kernel /home/demik/tmp/vmlinux ABCGH ``` **68030** ``` qemu-system-m68k -M virt -cpu m68060 -m 1G -nographic -kernel /home/demik/tmp/vmlinux ABC ``` **68060** ``` qemu-system-m68k -M virt -cpu m68060 -m 1G -nographic -kernel /home/demik/tmp/vmlinux ABC ``` Steps to reproduce: 1. build a kernel with 68020/030/060 support (using virt_defconfig as base) 2. start QEMU with the command line above Additional information: 68020 is understandable as it may need some sort of 68851 emulation.
