Naresh, Thanks for your response. I have actually built a RAW image (I put the wrong command line into my original email) My attempts to run the RAW image have not fully worked. I run the command below:
#> sudo qemu-kvm -m 512 -boot c -hda meego-0.90-meego-preview-netbook-core-201005041355-sda.raw I see some boot information, and a grey QEMU window which very briefly flashes 'Starting Meego....' , but no Meego command line. Is this similar to your experience? Also some output in the terminal, as follows open /dev/kvm: No such file or directory Could not initialize KVM, will disable KVM support After some digging I found that I have the right modules installed, but dmesg shows that kvm is disabled by the bios. My bios settings have no options to allow me to change it. Not sure if my processor can support it? or perhaps I need to update my bios so I might be able to change the setting? Still searching around the subject. Perhaps I should try Meego vmware image instead Paul -----Original Message----- From: Naresh Mehta [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wed 5/5/2010 10:12 To: Paul Leeming Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [MeeGo-dev] Image Creation Troubles Great Paul. The image creation works fine for me. I have built a RAW image and am using qemu to run it. The image is loaded and I am shown the boot prompt. But I can't go beyond that. Do tell me about your experience with the VMDK format. Use VMWare to run the image and see if it works.
