Cannot boot 10.4 or 10.5 ISOs

Double checked these are both PPC versions

What iso are you using, and did you follow the instructions to ensure the virtual CD drive is at the top of the drive list?

I dowloaded a couple of different ISOs from various sources. I have also tried disabling HDD at all to ensure boot device is correct.

I have tried 6 different images now...

That’s really odd; we must have had overlap between our images by now. Maybe it’s something that’s changed for the PPC emulation specifically for the isos since UTM 3.X. I’ll try another “from scratch “ session this weekend and see if I can replicate your issues and then figure out the fix.

I downloaded an image from archive.org and got this error. I tried one I had in some disk drive from eons ago and it did boot, but the installation fails 😞

Update: I won't link to it, but there's a DMG image available in archive.org that worked for me. Search for "Tiger Intel/PPC"

You’re attempting to boot PPC images?  X86 ones won’t work.  You may need to boot 10.4.8 or later; I seem to recall all the 10.5 PPC/Universal ones I tried working.-Em On Aug 21, 2022, at 10:03 PM, Bruno Philipe ***@***.***> wrote: I downloaded an image from archive.org and got this error.

@adespoton @brunophilipe Has anyone found a solution for this? It is still broken, apparently.

Do your images boot using the emaculation.com QEMU builds? That should at least isolate if this is a QEMU or UTM issue.-Em On Nov 17, 2023, at 6:02 PM, Sergey Fedorov ***@***.***> wrote: Has anyone found a solution for this?

I downloaded an ISO of 10.5.6 release which worked for me to install Leopard on an PowerMac G5 natively earlier. The ISO mounts normally on Sonoma. I do not have Qemu (never used it), but the ISO as such should be perfectly fine, I believe. (I did initially try a stripped PPC-only version, which also failed, then went for a proper release, with unchanged result.)

I can try with Qemu, need to find some info on how to go about it.

Emaculation.com has the binaries and documentation on how to run it. If that works, we know the issue is in UTM itself and can escalate to Osy; if it doesn't work, we know a regression has been introduced to QEMU-PPC and it needs to be escalated to the QEMU devs (mostly Mark Cave-Ayland).

[edit] that's of course assuming the issue isn't with the images themselves; I usually use retail images, but have also used a G4 tower image with success.
