Personally I predict a "super-system" that is a bottom layer host for
just about anything on top. Within 5 years. We currently see VMWare
and Qemu and perhaps others that allow us to 'simulate' an x86 system
on top of some other system. I think this is a very cool development
and it may get us all away from platform religion.
Apropos qemu, does it work for you on b16 or b17, x86 platform? I have
downloaded it, applied the patch as per
http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/thebentzone?entry=run_windows_or_linux_or
(had to fix isgreater() macro in gnu-c99-math.h), but have problems with
it. If I compile it with /usr/sfw/bin/gcc, it dumps core at startup time
(neither pstack nor dbx give any meaningful output), when compiled with
/opt/csw/gcc3/bin/gcc it starts, but does nothing. No windows opens, and
after some 10-15 minutes of frenetic CPU usage (e.g. when booting Knoppix
3.9), it just stops using CPU and probably sleeps. I have even tried
booting windows 89se boot floppy (as per above blog), but the same thing
happens.
Any hints and/or advises?
Thanks and bye, Dragan
