ok, so i've spent a large chunk of the day playing with qemu. it's horrible.
i finally got a system running with network access using the recipe at http://acooke.org/cute/StartingQe0.html when i duplicate the work from yesterday there (git clone; make) i get an error in the middle of building cblas. interestingly, it looks like the problems start in a routine called getarch_2nd.c - i guess these are the cpu/architecture detection issues mentioned earlier. the way that i started qemu is very different to the command you gave. i have no idea whether either is wrong in some way. i really am not at all happy with either qemu or libvirt - they seem to be extremely flakey pieces of software :o( is there an issue raised for this? what info can i provide that would be useful? i can't really upload the VM as it's 8GB. if someone else wants to duplicate what i see (which isn;t what the original error was, but might be related) just follow the recipe in the link i gave, use yast to install make, gcc, g+, patch, ncurses-devel, gfortran and git, then clone julia and type make... i guess at a minimum i can make > log 2>&1 which will give some idea of what went wrong. what other info would help? andrew On Friday, 21 February 2014 09:23:04 UTC-3, Ronan Chagas wrote: > > Yes I have: > > /usr/bin/qemu-kvm -no-reboot -nographic -vga none -net none -cpu host > -kernel /boot/vmlinuz -initrd /boot/initrd-3.11.10-7-desktop-virtio > -append root=/dev/sda panic=1 quiet no-kvmclock nmi_watchdog=0 rw > elevator=noop console=ttyS0 init=/.build/build -hda > /var/tmp/build-root/openSUSE_13.1-x86_64/img -drive > file=/var/tmp/build-root/openSUSE_13.1-x86_64/swap,if=ide,index=1,cache=unsafe > > > -smp 8 > > Best regards, > Ronan > > 2014-02-21 9:05 GMT-03:00 andrew cooke <[email protected] <javascript:>>: > > > > ok, so running on vbox overnight worked. > > > > i need to do some (paid) work now, but when i get free time (lunch or > > evening) i'll try to run the same image under qemu/kvm and repeat. > > > > do you have the command you used to start qemu? > > > > thanks, > > andrew > > > > > > > > On Thursday, 20 February 2014 22:58:47 UTC-3, Ronan Chagas wrote: > >> > >> Hi Andrew, > >> > >> Em 20-02-2014 21:54, andrew cooke escreveu: > >> > > >> > Still running.
