**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Apr 15 02:59:57 2011 Apr 15 22:10:07 hey, I'm trying to figure out a way to set up a virtual machine within my GuruPlug Apr 15 22:10:33 I thought at first to use qemu, but it seems pretty cumbersome and a resource hog Apr 15 22:10:41 UML doesn't even compile ... Apr 15 22:18:36 what would you emulate? Apr 15 22:20:37 I just pretty much want more room to work with, really Apr 15 22:20:53 how would a vm help? Apr 15 22:20:59 I'd love to be able to boot into a GUI now and again and VNC into it Apr 15 22:21:26 I would boot to the OS on my USB drive rather that my 90% full 256MB flash partition Apr 15 22:23:23 technically I could buy the JTAG adapter and modify the plug to always boot from USB ... Apr 15 22:23:59 but I'm cheap Apr 15 22:26:05 maybe it's just a retarded idea, I don't know Apr 15 23:26:07 qemu would be the only thing that would work probably Apr 15 23:26:12 or bochs Apr 15 23:26:25 there is really no virtualization with the ARM cpu as far as I know Apr 16 00:20:57 Sounds to me like mijk really wants just multi-boot, not vm Apr 16 00:22:57 or chroot Apr 16 00:24:50 Yep, provided the kernel remains the same. Apr 16 00:26:28 dmb: they will be adding it soon (maybe it's already in cortex-a15) Apr 16 00:26:31 http://www.arm.com/products/processors/technologies/virtualization-extensions.php Apr 16 00:27:28 oh, A5/A9 has it already apparently Apr 16 00:34:55 oh, interesting Apr 16 00:35:10 not really sure i understand the purpose of it though Apr 16 00:35:49 running two oses at the same time Apr 16 00:35:58 virtual private hosting Apr 16 00:36:11 malware monitoring and isolation Apr 16 00:36:20 plenty of uses Apr 16 00:36:53 oh yeah, thats right, vps hosting on a plugpc, could be interesting Apr 16 00:37:08 someone could make a lot of money if they create a plugpc datacenter Apr 16 00:38:00 http://blogs.pcmag.com/miller/2010/08/smooth-stone_arm-based_server.php Apr 16 00:40:27 http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/03/14/calxeda_arm_server/ Apr 16 00:40:49 interesting **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Apr 16 02:59:58 2011
