Hi Gabe and Ali,
Thanks for the leads! I'd love to get my hands on the x86-specific
patches if you can find them.
I have been booting to shell with m5term so far, and you're right, I need to
disable the init services. Is it safe to disable all of them, or all under
certain runlevels?
Thanks,
I think it should be safe to disable all of them, although I haven't
actually tried that myself. I think that's how Alpha is usually used,
but I'll let the experts comment on that. If you needed to start
services like an ftp server as a workload then you might want to leave
those specific

Hi everyone,
I am interested in helping develop X86_FS boot up and testing.
Under X86_FS, I have been able to boot a couple different versions of the
Linux kernel (v2.6.22.9 and v2.6.28.4), but the bring up requires more than
12 hours of simulation time. I am hoping to reduce the boot time to

Hi Joel,
The patches do two things to improve the simulation speed. First, they
calculate what loopsperjiffy would be given the processor frequency and write
that value into the global variable. You can get around this by just passing
the lpj=XX boot argument to the kernel, so this change
