Ski for huge page size !

2006-11-25 Thread sudhnesh adapawar

Hey all !
I am thinking to use ski simulator as I can get the ia64
(Itanium 2)simulated on ia32 archiSo can I use this product for
the project related to huge page size ???
  Will the problems related to huge pages such as
swapping,IO,etc...will be covered if I use ski with 2.6 kernel image
configured for ia64 archi with huge page size support ?

Thank You

How to boot 2.6 kernel using hp ski simulator ???

2006-11-25 Thread sudhnesh adapawar

Hey all !
 I wanted to boot 2.6 kernel configured for ia64 architecture
on ia32 archi using hp ski simulator ! But I failed to do so ! I
followed the following steps:
1) I used 'make ARCH=ia64 menuconfig' to configure and followed the
steps to get kernel image of version 2.6 ! I also selected the generic
type as Ski-simulator and also selected the HP-ski drivers something
simscsi,etc.etc.
2)  After this I gave the following command for the ski installed in
my OS kernel version 2.6 :
 $ ski bootloader vmlinux simscsi=/var/ski-disks/sd
3) Then gave run to start the process.The screen with the output as
"loading vmlinux" was displayed and the process haltedno working
further !
Querries:
1) I am not getting what is happenning for 2.6 configured with ia64???
..But I also downloaded the bootloader and vmlinux for 2.4 from Hp
ski simulator home site and tried with the above 2 steps and the 2.4
kernel was booted successfullyI dont know whether this kernel
image is configured for ia64 but whatever it worked !
2) Does ski supports for 2.6 kernel configured with ia64 archi as done
in above  stepno : 2) ??
3) How can we use sda i.e simulated filesystemlike can we mount it
?? Or whenever the kernel is booted using ski command the filesystem
it uses is sda ???
   Thank You

How does the ski simulator resolves the dependency on shared libraries?

2006-11-15 Thread sudhnesh adapawar

Hey all,
 How does the ski simulator resolves the dependency on shared
libraries?
 For e.g: I tried 'ls' command on xski but i failed to run it :
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /]# xski ls vmlinux simscsi=/var/ski-disks/sd
ls - No such file or directory
ls - No such file or directory
xski: Could not open ls for reading
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /]# which ls
alias ls='ls --color=tty'
  /bin/ls
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /]# xski /bin/ls vmlinux simscsi=/var/ski-disks/sd
/bin/ls - wrong architecture (3)
xski: Could not open /bin/ls for reading
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /]#

Please kindly reply !
