[Qemu-devel] "No disk space" problem and work around

[Qemu-devel] "No disk space" problem and work around

[Joshua Kugler]

I'm installing Win 2k sp3, and like others, I got the "not enough disk space" 
message during install.  Well, I decided try to do an install using FAT32 
instead, and all went well (CVS as of 2/22, with kqemu).  I installed all 
updates (including sp4).  Then I ran convert.exe and it converted the drive 
to NTFS.  All is running fine so far (even defragmented).

Once I have this project done, I'll have a pretty cool testimonial as to how 
we eliminated our last Windows box in the server room.

[Qemu-devel] qemu capabilities

[Michael Waite]

I am wondering if anyone has tried using qemu in a way such that it
simulates another computer architecture such as:

Set up an x86 host system and configure qemu to simulate a POWER
platform. The purpose would be to build application binaries for a
variety of platforms without having to physically have them. This would
also provide a testing environment such that an ISV could not only build
their packages but test and certify them as well.

Thanks.

I have done this emulating arm on x86. Setup binfmt_misc with the appropriate 
magic, and it mostly just works. I've attached the setup script I use.

I also gave ppc a quick try, but didn't get very far as the debian installer 
didn't work.
