I built the gentoo qemu package [1] with support for a couple of non-x86 |
2 |
arches. Trying the sparc64 one, I installed FreeBSD-11.1 into it. It |
3 |
kind of works, but: |

|

1. It's very slow - I estimate about 5x-10x slower than an emulated x86_64, |
6 |
also running FreeBSD-11.1. |

2. 1 processor on the host (a 4-way Phenom) is always at 100%, even |
9 |
when the guest is completely idle. This makes me think there is a |
10 |
virtual interrupt line that is always on, and this probably is the cause |
11 |
of #1. Again, this doesn't happen when the guest CPU is x86_64. |

3. There is no emulated network device. This could be related to the |
14 |
ne2k_pci issue mentioned at [2]. I'd be willing to debug this, _if_ it |
15 |
were not for #1 and #2 ... |
16 |
|
17 |
anyone has a guess what is happening here? |

the one in gentoo "stable" i.e. app-emulation/qemu-2.10.0 |
