Dragon Posted January 10, 2007 Author Share Posted January 10, 2007 embio: download featherlinux and use that. it's like 38mb. don't use fedora... it's too chunky >< also if you load featherlinux using desktop=twm instead of fluxbox it will be much faster. "knoppix toram desktop=twm" in boot options that should give you faster speeds.

Embio Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I was only going to use the Fedora box to play with Qemu a bit before going to bed. And those commands have saved me a lot of googling tomorrow, cheers. I'll get to work on this tomorrow night with the Coppermine in my sig thats currently running Xubuntu - at the minute I cant read what im typing so I'm going to go get some sleep.

Dragon Posted January 10, 2007 Author Share Posted January 10, 2007 Seeing as I have two 20gb harddrives in my p3 I am going to do a native 10.4.8 install on the second using my OS X pc and then run it in my p3 and give you the benchmarks.

Dragon Posted January 10, 2007 Author Share Posted January 10, 2007 nah i'm going to use qemu to boot from my second harddrive instead of the image file. BTW, this is the different between qemu and kqemu+qemu Emulator Typical application slow down ratio compared to native QEMU between 5 and 10 QEMU + QEMU accelerator between 1 and 2 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/37193-x86-version-of-102/page/5/#findComment-272777 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Embio Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 have you managed to boot OSx86 on your machine? apparently Kqemu stops SSE2 emulation so we cant use it.

Dragon Posted January 10, 2007 Author Share Posted January 10, 2007 this is driving me insane... i can't get any form of mac os x on this p3. i can't plug it into the net because it's in a room without wireless access, i tried copying the 10.4.1 image off my usb but it was taking hours. last thing to do is do a native install using my OS X machine. BTW, has everyone working on this downloaded featherlinux yet?

Embio Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 to be honest thats what my mind leapt to immediately, I love that distro, but it doesnt have APIs and libraries Qemu needs I dont think. We just need to remove all the stuff from feather linux we dont need and it will be light enough.

Embio Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 It wouldnt run from RAM, and 2000 is waaay lighter. I'm installing FeatherLinux now on the ex-Xubuntu box.

Dragon Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 i got the 10.4.1 image copied to my hda and dd'd it to the second harddrive, then i tried booting the second hd in qemu and i got kernel panic : kdp_poll error :S so i think the wireless card is causing it so i'm going to take that out and test again. so far the apple logo flashes and it says the "loading hfs filesystem" {censored}. Once I get past this error though I think it'll boot into os x (hopefully).

Embio Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I'm still trying to get FeatherLinux on to this Athlon. The Qemu website makes it sound like all I have to do is unzip the .tar.gz to the root of my installation and then it should run - is this the case? Oh and how do we get our FeatherLinux installs to copy toram on boot?
