Did someone succeed in installing the 64 bit version of SUSE Linux 9.2 on Simics 2.0? For me linuxrc segfaults immediately after being started from the installation media. Is Simics just too broken for installing SUSE Linux 9.2 or is it just me being to stupid writing a working configuration file?
x86-64 linux was largely developed on Simics. I last tested it
I was aware of that. This is why I tried this in the first place.
with an older kernel and 9.1 on simics 1.x, which worked without problems.
Hmm, I tried now to boot from 9.1-DVD. Similar problem. What I did is use the dredd configuration file and changed cpu type to x86-hammer, everything else was left unchanged. When booting from 9.2 DVD for installation, kernel starts to boot and then... hdc: ATAPI 4X CD-ROM drive, 512kB Cache Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20 ide-floppy driver 0.99.newide mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard on isa0060/serio0 alps.c: E6 report: 00 00 64 alps.c: E7 report: 10 00 64 input: PS/2 Generic Mouse on isa0060/serio1 input: PC Speaker md: md driver 0.90.0 MAX_MD_DEVS=256, MD_SB_DISKS=27 NET: Registered protocol family 2 IP: routing cache hash table of 2048 buckets, 16Kbytes TCP: Hash tables configured (established 16384 bind 16384) NET: Registered protocol family 1 md: Autodetecting RAID arrays. md: autorun ... md: ... autorun DONE.

You said that you tried this "with an older kernel and 9.1". Which kernel version did you use? Is it possible that more recent kernels no longer work with Simics? Is it possible that I did something wrong with configuring Simics? Can you send me a working config file?
