Ping. This is a patch similar with ARM platforms. http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=commitdiff;h=3a2beaee1d50dc968171c58... Right now on ppce500, chardev is not supported for the serial console. So it uses the the legacy -serial option. Best Regards, Olivia

QEMU ppce500 board uses the old style -serial options.
Other PPC boards don't give any way to explicitly wire in a -chardev except pseries which uses -device spapr-vty with -chardev.
