[Barrelfish] [Barrelfish-users] problems after installing barrelfish

[Roscoe Timothy]

This is due to incomplete support in our ACPI code for your hardware.  If you're feeling adventurous, you could try and add the required functionality (timers in the ACPI interpreter, basically).  We intend to fix this ourselves in a future release, but for the moment it's not top of the priority list (we know about the problem, but it's not an issue on our hardware, and we don't have the resources yet to fully engineer a solution). 

Best regards,

 -- Timothy Roscoe

Dear all
I have a problem when trying to run Barrelfish in hardware mode (not
simulation mode). As ubuntu 9.10 uses grub2, I removed it and installed grub
to have a menu.lst, but every time I try to run it, it gives the following
error:-

When I run it in QEMU, it gives me the following:-

the menu.lst file looks like this:-

module         /boot/barrelfish/x86_64/sbin/fish

bootcpus=0-1 because I have dual cores. I think elver is used instead of the
patch that makes grub reads 64-bits images.

If any one is able to run Barrelfish from hardware, please tell me what is
wrong?
I also want to write a scheduler inside Barrelfish, but I don't know where
to start?
