Bisect points to this breaking qemu mac99 for me, with pmac32_defconfig.

I haven't had time to dig any deeper sorry.

Embarrasing ...

Nah, these things happen.

I don't get this problem on the 8xx (nohash/32) or the 83xx (book3s/32).
I don't get this problem with qemu mac99 when using my klibc-based initramfs.

I managed to reproduce it with the rootfs.cpio that I got some time ago from linuxppc github Wiki.

OK.

I'm using the ppc-rootfs.cpio.gz from here:

  https://github.com/linuxppc/ci-scripts/blob/master/root-disks/Makefile

And the boot script is:

  https://github.com/linuxppc/ci-scripts/blob/master/scripts/boot/qemu-mac99

I've been meaning to write docs on how to use those scripts, but haven't
got around to it.

There's nothing really special though it's just a wrapper around qemu -M mac99.

I'll investigate it tomorrow.

Thanks.

cheers
