Re: My experiences with Visopsys install on QEMU virt disk

DHCP action: In Visopsys, the "ifconfig" command (if not launched with the -T (text only) switch) - will execute a dialog that can grab an IP address via the built-in DHCP client. I've noticed that (at least when running my instances) - the DHCP client does not pass the hostname back to t...

Re: My experiences with Visopsys install on QEMU virt disk

Note that I've used bridging for the QEMU/Visop setup. This may not be very secure, so don't do it on a live (internet connected) instance. For the curious, this is how to quickly bridge it all together on a Linux machine: 1) I add a bridge : brctl addbr br0 2) I may or may not want (optional): dnsm...

My experiences with Visopsys install on QEMU virt disk

There seems to be an easier path (at least for me) when installing Visopsys to a QEMU virtual hard disk. I thought I'd share my experiences, so that others may benefit (or can correct me if I'm missing something). This post describes what can be done in the case where Visopsys has panic-ed during th...

Re: Visopsys 0.82 released

Was able to put Visopsys on QEMU virtual hard drive, after I laid down the MBR explicitly in partitioner. Maybe that's what I was sometimes doing incorrectly in the past - anyway, it works. Here's the bottom of the kernel log:

Re: Visopsys 0.82 released

Andy, you've made some very interesting improvements in v.82. Wow! Attached my little test from a minute ago, run on an Odroid QEMU (ARM) setup.

Needless to say: great work!

Re: Visopsys 0.82 released

Hi Andy,

Thanks for the update (.82). I'm going to try it this evening.

It looks like you're working on layer two networking code. Is the DHCP client far along? Any projections as to milestones in the higher level network stack?
