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 or C, is there any other way
to run the XO.img other than qemu? I tried using VMware server but it doesn't
recognize such a virtual machine. Perhaps another version of VMware or
conversion utility, or other virtualization suite.Thanks.----- Original Message
