I thought I'd have time this weekend to try it, but apparently not. What I was able to find out so far is that I need to use the non-SMP kernel, otherwise there's no way to get KVM on powerpc. Thus, I compiled a new 4.11.0 kernel, this time with SMP disabledbut with KVM enabled. After a reboot I was able to modprobe kvmwithout errors. Sadly, the KVM-PR module is not available on powerpc.
However, it should work on a G4 according to this post: https://techuman.wordpress.com/2013/09/12/powerpc-g4-virtualization-with-kvm/ And for the G5, here: http://www.emaculation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=8449That said, I willreport back once I have actually tried out mac-on-linux on this G4 Mac of mine. If it works, that would just be great. I also plan to try it on my G5 Mac, which should even work better, but I will need more time for this than for the G4, as I haven't even installed a working Linux on the G5. Graphics problems.
Stand-by, as this can time some time (until I find the time)... Cheers, Linux User #330250
