[Bug 1563887] Re: qemu-system-ppc64 freezes on starting image on ppc64le

[Scott Moser]

ok. so after playing some, this all comes down to needing 'usb=off' on
the qemu command line.

works:
qemu-system-ppc64 -enable-kvm -machine usb=off -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=net00 -netdev type=user,id=net00 -drive if=virtio,file=xenial-server-cloudimg-ppc64el-disk1.img,format=qcow2 -drive if=virtio,file=my-seed.img,format=raw -snapshot -m 256 -nographic


doesnt work:
qemu-system-ppc64 -enable-kvm  virtio-net-pci,netdev=net00 -netdev type=user,id=net00 -drive if=virtio,file=xenial-server-cloudimg-ppc64el-disk1.img,format=qcow2 -drive if=virtio,file=my-seed.img,format=raw -snapshot -m 256 -nographic


the interesting bit of 'doesnt work' is that it *does* work, the user just thinks it doesnt because output is eaten up and doesnt go to console, but it *does* work fine.
