Dear Rich, Now I'm testing qemu 2.0 on G4 , now with the last libguestfs it could successfully work with powerpc 32 bit ( G4) ? Thanks Roberto 2013-09-30 9:44 GMT+02:00 Richard W.M.

I have successfully compiled on G4 powerpc libguestfs ( last stable version 1.26.0 ) and supermin 5.1.7 but supermin doesn't recognise a suitable kernel ( vmlinuz*) to build the appliance, looking on the kernel.ml code (language that I never have seen) I have see that it check only i386 and arm architecture, in any case look like it search a vmlinuz* with host_cpu, in case of powerpc look like it search vmlinuz*powerpc* In my /boot I have only 2 kernel with powerpc inside ( vmlinux-3.11.0-6-powerpc-smp) and the 3.13.9 with out (vmlinux-3.13.9kvmth) and with vmliux not vmlinu *z* *I have tried to make symlink of my vmlinux with vmlinuz*powerpc* but the error is the same:*supermin -v -v -v --build --format ext2 supermin.d -o appliance.d supermin: failed to find a suitable kernel. I looked for kernels in /boot and modules in /lib/modules. My impression is that supermin5 doesn't work properly building aplliance with powerpc architecture. Thanks for your time
