Hello Jiri,
Thanks. All of my testing/experimentation uses VBox. On which note would just like to confirm that I’ve built and run the AMD64 variant from the head of the Github repo. Kudos to all for a painless experience. All of which raises many new questions re booting, configuration, operation etc. Is this the best forum or is IRC preferred? FWIW My (currently academic) interest is in establishing the effort/tasks required to run HelenOS on a commodity ARM64 board. i.e. as a headless embedded networked system, targeting inexpensive SoCs like the AllWinner H5/H6. BR Jerry.

I was planning to write a wiki article on running in VirtualBox before the next official release. Probably should do that sooner. At the moment there is no command to perform graceful shutdown. It's something I have on my mind as I would like to add that functionality to the task bar, too. Normally you're running a live ISO image and all you need to do is to remove power from the (virtual) machine. If you mounted some file systems, then you'd need to unmount those first manually to prevent them from being corrupted. if you were lucky enough to install the OS on the first hard drive in Qemu (just tested and does not seem to work in the latest git revision), then you'd want to unmount the system volume before powering off ("vol eject /w").

A couple of dumb questions: 1. How to power off from the terminal/shell? 2. Is any VBox pointer device integration operational? PS/2 Mouse needs Ctrl in VBox for release.

You can find latest automatic builds on http//ci.helenos.org/ In the HelenOS table you can find Architecture: amd64 and click on "HelenOS boot image" link and you will be able to download the ISO. The link to the amd64 ISO image for the current latest build is http://ci.helenos.org/build-558/amd64/helenos-amd64.iso I've tested this image specifically and it works fine in VirtualBox. You need to configure your vitual machine correctly, though, as HelenOS does not support the default network and audio device selected by VirtualBox for "Other" operating system. For network device select Intel PRO/1000 MT Server or Desktop. For audio device select Intel HD Audio (Soundblaster 16 should also work, but NOT AC97).

Great news re VBox. Is there a new .ISO release that can be quickly tested on x64/VBox (or even VMWare?) Thx++ Jerry.
