Talk:Emulating the XO/Quick Start

Qemu: You do not have enough space in '/dev/shm'

When I run:

$ qemu -m 256 -kernel-kqemu -soundhw es1370 -net user -net nic,model=rtl8139 \
       -hda olpc-redhat-stream-ship.2-devel_ext3.img
Could not configure '/dev/rtc' to have a 1024 Hz timer. This is not a fatal
error, but for better emulation accuracy either use a 2.6 host Linux kernel or
type 'echo 1024 > /proc/sys/dev/rtc/max-user-freq' as root.
You do not have enough space in '/dev/shm' for the 256 MB of QEMU virtual RAM.
To have more space available provided you have enough RAM and swap, do as root:
umount /dev/shm
mount -t tmpfs -o size=272m none /dev/shm

I did what qemu suggests about /dev/shm and it worked. Awesome! --Ashawley 16:00, 27 December 2007 (EST)
