Dear Marcel, Thanks for your effort, you just saved my life! ;D
After the patch applied, the problem solved too in mic 0.48 under ubuntu 8.10, now the images could run happily under both a qemu and a real machine. :D (till now I can throw the vm running ubuntu 8.04 into a trash can. :p) a big Thank You! :) sincerely, jiason 20090112 2009/1/9 Wagner, Marcel <[email protected]>: > Hi Jiason, > > You are not alone :-), I have a similar problem in Ubuntu 8.10. > > I did the following to get an idea of the problem: > I took exactly the same MIC version and installed on Ubuntu 8.04 and Ubuntu > 8.10.
