| Build Name | QEmu Version | System Info | Description | username |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| OLPC Build 553 (stream development; variant devel_ext3) | Qemu 0.9.0 kqemu 1.3.0pre11-4 2.6.20-16.29 | Mobile AMD Sempron(tm) Processor 3000 1GB RAM; Ubuntu 7.04; Linux 2.6.20 | Doesn't boot to Sugar, fails at the initial activation stage | HoboPrimate 22 August 2007 |
| stream development; variant devel_ext | QEmu 0.8.2 kqemu-1.3.0pre11 | AMD64 1G, Suse 10.2 x86_64 | Work beautifully; way faster than B1 | John ff 07Aug |
| stream development; variant devel_ext | QEmu 0.8.2 kqemu-1.3.0pre11 | Pentium M 1.40GHz 512MB RAM, Suse 10.2 | Work beautifully; must faster than B1; could not get network working | John ff 07Aug |
| OLPC build 542 (stream development; variant devel_ext3) | Qemu 0.9.0 kqemu 1.3.0pre11-4 2.6.20-16.29 | Mobile AMD Sempron(tm) Processor 3000 1GB RAM; Ubuntu 7.04; Linux 2.6.20 | Boots fine into Sugar. The top activity toolbars are larger than they should. To get internet, followed the instructions in the emulation page. Slow, but usable. The Sugar UI is getting itself together, sweet :) | HoboPrimate 6 August 2007 |
| stream-development-build-385-20070406_2335-ext3.img | Qemu 0.8.2, kqemu-1.3.0pre9 | Linux Mandriva 2007.0, Toshiba Satellite P100, Core Duo T2300 1.66 GHz, 512M RAM | Boots fine and smooth. No sound (might need to preload libaoss on qemu). Network worked after running dhclient in a root shell. | Manuel Aguilar. May 26, 2007 |
| stream-development-build-422-20070514_1555-devel_ext3.img | qemu 0.8.2 kqemu-1.3.0-1 kqemu-kmdl-2.6.20-1.2948 |
Fedora Core 6 (x86_64), AMD Athlon mumble, 1GB | Runs. No sound. It looks like the ui spec changed, and some activities are still catching up. | MitchellNCharity 2007.05.15 |
| stream-development-build-385-20070406_2335-ext3.img | qemu 0.8.2 kqemu-1.3.0-1 kqemu-kmdl-2.6.20-1.2948 |
Fedora Core 6 (x86_64), AMD Athlon mumble, 1GB | Works fine with kqemu. Slow without it. Works: network. Doesn't work: sound. | MitchellNCharity 2007.05.15 |
| stream-development-build-385-20070406_2314-devel_ext3.img | qemu 0.8.2 | Fedora Core 6 (x86_64), AMD Athlon mumble, 1GB | X startup fails. So "stable" devel_ext3 fails, plain ext3 works. | MitchellNCharity 2007.05.15 |
| stream-development-build-318-20070318_1945-devel_ext3.img | qemu 0.8.2 | Debian unstable (powerpc), iBook G4 1.3GHz 512MB RAM | Boots OK; Avahi and HAL fail to start; keyboard, mouse and sound work fine; GUI doesn't start but the only thing you can see on tty7 is a black background and an 'x' mouse coursor and when you switch to tty1, it switches back to tty7 after a while, eventually I only managed to start X with startx and got twm running | 2007.03.19 |
| stream-development-build-239-20070118_1355-ext3.img | qemu 0.8.2 | Debian testing (Etch), AMD Athlon XP 2600 1GB RAM | boots ok, works very slowly, no keyboard input, hangs unexpectedly | jan 2007.03.02 |
| stream-development-build-239-20070118_1355-ext3.img | qemu 0.9 | Ubuntu 6.06.1 1GB RAM (qemu had 512MB) | works fine, but could not network / browse internet / did not auto-configure networking... You definitely need to put some hint balloons in that GUI, it's hard to understand what's what | towsonu2003, 2007.02.17 |
| stream-development-build-239-20070118_1416-devel_ext3.img | qeumu 0.8.0 | Ubuntu 6.06LTS, Linux 2.6.15-27-386, Centrino 1280MB RAM | when Qemu goes graphical, freezes with weird screen garbage | ShawnMurphy, 2007.01.19 |
| stream-development-build-239-20070118_1416-devel_ext3.img | qeumu 0.6.0-2mdk | Mandrake 10.1, Linux 2.6.8.1-12mdk, Athlon XP 2100 , 1536MB RAM | when Qemu goes graphical, freezes with weird screen garbage | ShawnMurphy, 2007.01.19 |
| build 217 20070105_1724 devel_ext3.img | qemu 0.8.2 | Debian unstable, Athlon XP 2400 , 512MB RAM Linux 2.6.18.2 (vanilla) | Boots fine, but very slow. Apps work, except for abiword which just has a gray screen (same color as frame). No IP, but 'dhclient' fixes that. Changing 'onboot=yes' doesn't help. Got some kernel problems (IRQ4?) when starting vi/nano though, see http://rootshell.be/~ludoa/messages for my logfile |
