I'm not sure if I should open another thread for these ones. Short update on the possibilities 1) I tried to run/install it under qemu on xubuntu 9.04(jaunty). However, while trying to run/install with the following command:
sudo qemu -hda moblin.img -m 256 -boot d -cdrom /dev/cdrom there is an error: ..MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC and the installation stops. Is it just a problem of xubuntu 9.04 or else? Should I go down with the ubuntu version? 2) under the same xubuntu 9.04(jaunty) I tried to create a LiveCD using the MIC2 whit the following command: sudo moblin-image-creator --config=netbook-core.ks --format=livecd --cache=mycache at the beginning it looks fine, but after a short while an error occurs: Unable to create image: Unable to download from repo: near "release": syntax error Any sugestions? Because the only possibility left ist 3) and I would not really like to buy a netbook at the moment without having tested the software before;) best regards simon:) On Sat, Sep 26, 2009 at 5:27 PM, Simon Bolek <[email protected]>wrote: > thank you very much, > > ok, so at the moment there are 3 possibilities: > 1) KVM (xp hosting linux hosting KVM machines:) that should do the job, i > will give it a try) > 2) LiveCD > 3) installation on compatible netbook > > i'll be back with a blog about it when i'm done testing:) > > best regards > simon:) > > > > On Sat, Sep 26, 2009 at 4:44 PM, Arjan van de Ven > <[email protected]>wrote: > >> Peter Robinson wrote: >> >>> >>>> Maybe I ask the question the other way around: what is the shortest test >>>> cycle after building an image with the Moblin Image Creator 2?
