James,
The boot scripts look for removable drive to mount the root file
system. If the kernel you are trying to boot does not have USB support
built in, it cannot find one and loops. Make sure you have usb driver
enabled in the kernel.
Thanks,
Praj

Yeah, I tried the same qemu experiment on a development box running Ubuntu
8.10 and a VMWare VM running Ubuntu 8.10 and got the exact same response.
So I figured it was something between MIC and Qemu.
I think this just goes to show a VMWare VM behaves pretty darn accurately
as a dev box ;-).
I get the same response using qemu. This is not just a problem with
VMware.

I tried the 'launch VM' on MIC in a Ubuntu 8.10 VM under VMWare
Workstation 6.05 and worked...almost at least. I don't have VT-enabled

on my computer, so I hacked gui.py to use qemu. That works in that it
launches the VM. I did not think it was that slow (but definitely
slower
than if I do it on my host machine), but I get caught in the following
endless loop on boot:
Begin: Mounting root file system
Checking device /dev/sda for installation source...
Checking device /dev/sdb for installation source...
Checking device /dev/sdc for installation source...
Checking device /dev/sdd for installation source...
sleeping 5 seconds

I filed bug 135 in bugzilla.moblin.org on this.
I have 4Gigs of RAM and a dual-core Pentium to try and get as much
horsepower for running VMs. Also, I just read doing the following for
/dev/shm to try and get VMs to run faster (though I have not tried it
yet):
Nevertheless, where can I use /dev/shm?
You can use /dev/shm to improve the performance of application software
or
overall Linux system performance. On heavily loaded system, it can make
tons of difference. For example VMware workstation/server can be
optimized
to improve your Linux host's performance (i.e. improve the performance
of
your virtual machines).
For example, if you have 8GB RAM then remount /dev/shm as follows:
# mount -o remount,size=8G /dev/shm
To be frank, if you have more than 2GB RAM + multiple Virtual machines,
this hack always improves performance.
# mount -t tmpfs -o size=5G,nr_inodes=5k,mode=700 tmpfs /disk2/tmpfs
Above will give you tmpfs instance on /disk2/tmpfs which can allocate
5GB
RAM/SWAP in 5K inodes and it is only accessible by root.

All,
I've installed a VMWare virtual machine with Fedora core 9 and
image-creator on it.
Now I'd like to create and test an application using an
emulator
(as Xephyr in Moblin1) but I think that doesn't works anymore.
I've tried lunching a VM using MIC, but that configuration runs
extremely slowly -the same configuration using moblin 1 works fine
-, and I can't execute applications in desktop like firefox.
Does anybody tested Moblin2 running on a Fedora 9 VM?
Regards
Cristian
