Perry, Thanks.
I wish that, at the least, it would have returned a specific error message but this way it's just a little mysterious. The hardware is a HP Pavilion 5470US laptop. Software is Ubuntu Studio (Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn) with emphasis on graphic, sound, and video packages and repositories. Installed the available qemu and kqemu packages using synaptic package manager. I'd say it's non-exotic. Anyway, I'll run the memory tests too. It occurs to me also, if there's a way to get configure to talk more, i.e., "configure --verbose," or "configure --debug" I'll check. Meanwhile as plan B, I found that I can build a XO image from scratch and then convert the image to a VMware vmdk file and use VMWare server for now while I work out the kqemu build issues. (See: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/VMWare#Building_an_Image_from_Scratch ) Thanks. P.S. Apologize to all again for the crappy formatting in my previous message; I jumped on a windows machine and used Firefox to read and reply to my Optonline email; somehow a bad combination... *:-( On Sat, 2007-11-24 at 16:23 -0500, Phil M Perry wrote: > 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).
