Well, I've never seen this before, but from the name of the test I'd guess that the kqemu code is trying to determine whether the processor is Big-Endian or Little-Endian for byte order (and possibly bit order). Byte order should be fairly easy to determine, but I can't think offhand of how to test bit order.
Anyway, it sounds like either there was a system error (e.g., parity glitch or returned values didn't match what was expected due to RAM failure), or several tests were run and the results were conflicting. It seems to know this was an Intel family processor (Little-Endian byte order). Is this a stock off-the-shelf system, or some kind of exotic homebrew? Try running a full memory test (I think one comes with Ubuntu or GRUB) just to rule out a RAM problem. andy wrote: > I'm using Ubuntu Studio (Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn). > > Meanwhile, I'm trying to configure kqemu and do not understand the > following output: > > big/little test failed > Source path /usr/src/modules/kqemu > C compiler gcc > Host C compiler gcc > make make > host CPU i386 > > kernel sources /lib/modules/2.6.20-16-lowlatency/build > kbuild type 2.6 > > What's the failure? > > Thanks. > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > _______________________________________________ > Mid-Hudson Valley Linux Users Group http://mhvlug.org > > http://mhvlug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mhvlug > > _______________________________________________ Mid-Hudson Valley Linux Users Group http://mhvlug.org http://mhvlug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mhvlug Upcoming Meetings (6pm - 8pm) MHVLS Auditorium Oct 3 - Security and Privacy Nov 7 - Django Python Application Framework
