These patches work.<br>
For what its worth, here are the steps that i followed to
get the barrelfish running in qemu.<br>
<br>
1. Downloaded ubuntu-10.04.2-desktop-i386.iso <br>
2. Made a VMware virtual machine out of this.<br>
3. updated it (sudo apt-get upate and applied the updates)<br>
4. edited /etc/apt/source.list and replaced all instances of
"lucid" with "natty" and then updated (sudo apt-get update)<br>
5. installed libghc-ghc6-paths-dev (which should ideally
pull ghc6 alongwith)<br>
6. reverted /etc/apt/source.list by replacing all instances
of "natty" with "lucid" and update (sudo apt-get update)<br>
7. installed zlib1g-dev (sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev)<br>
8. installed cabal (sudo apt-get install cabal-install)<br>
9. update cabal ("cabal update", followed by "cabal install
cabal-install")<br>
10. installed qemu (sudo apt-get install qemu)<br>
11. followed the README in barrelfish/usr/splash2/ with new
patches<br>
12. then followed the README in barrelfish/<br>
DONE.<br>
<br>
the tools that I used were:<br>
ghc version 6.12.3<br>
GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.20.1-system.20100303<br>
gcc (Ubuntu 4.4.3-4ubuntu5) 4.4.3<br>
<br>
The size of the VMimage is 3.9GB. Perhaps some bytes can be
saved by compression but we will certainly not be able to
host it. Is anyone else interested in doing that ?<br>

<div>Hey Waqaas ... you enumerated steps itself seems very
useful - it's sort of guaranteed to work ... I'm gonna give it
a shot.</div>
<div>I am guessing, you built the 32 bit barrelfish?</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>

Hey,<br>
Sorry for delay, somehow I missed your mail earlier. <br>
Well I am not sure about barrelfish, but I built it on a 32 bit
machine. The target architecture for barrelfish was x86_64. <br>
<br>
Secondly after compression the VM Image occupies 1.4GB.<br>
