• continue building palacios:

  • make menuconfig: unselect the Time Virtualization Feature -> OK but lazy and nasty
  • add "#include <linux/module>" (in file "palacios/linux_module/vm.c").
  • change "ioctl" to "unlocked_ioctl", 'cause the "file_operations" has changed.
    (in file "palacios/linux_module/iface-host-dev.c")
  • linux/smp_lock.h: No such file or directory: kernel is too recent?
    just comment it out (in file "palacios/linux_module/palacios-vnet.c")
  • build the utilities.
    $ make >build.txt 2>&1
    ATTENTION: be careful with the platform issue (i386 vs. amd64)
    v3_cons cannot be built 'cause libncurses5-dev:i386 cannot be installed with
    libncurses5-dev:amd64 on 64bit Ubuntu. click this for more information.

• use puppy linux to build the guest image.
  PROBLEM: v3_mem allocates 0MB memory.

• check palacios online group discussion while puppy linux is being downloaded.

  • general open discussion group
  • open discussion group for developers
  • invitation-only discussion group for developers
  • start page (for research group memebers)

• tune my Ubuntu working enviroment:

  • multi-terminal (with an Emacs -nw) + sublime text + file browser + others
  • sublime text 2.0.2 cracking took me some kinda time, reference to the below:
    crack sublime text 2 under linux
    install and crack sublime text 2 under ubuntu
    sublime text 2.0.2 build 2221 final + portable (from 0daydown)

• it's actually EECS 441.

  • go check it: the online discussion group, professor Peter A. Dinda, etc.
