Help with AROS

[Skyraker]

I'm trying to use the latest build hosted, but every time I run aros I get the following output.

 ./aros
List chip memory: Attr=00000703 from 0xb7572000 to 0xb7d72000 Free=8343400
   Chunk b757d098 Size 8343400
List rom memory: Attr=00000400 from 0x0804aac0 to 0x08100a78 Free=0
GURU Meditation 8100 0005
Deadend/Exec/Corrupt memory list detected in FreeMem
Task: 0xb75727a0 (Boot Task)
Aborted (core dumped)


Any ideas? btw the OS is ubuntu.

Cheers

HERE  is a recent thread at aros-exec.

Nothing specific to your post, but it is possible with ubuntu! post over there for more help!

[Skyraker]

Thanks.  At least now I know it works under ubuntu but I haven't a clue how to fix it.

You could pop in #aros channel over on irc.freenode.org and ask when a dev is active.

I'm already in there, everyone is asleep I think.

Don't want to sound like i'm asking nooblar questions either if it's something simple to fix.

Hey Skyraker,
i am also having some problems with Aros under Ubuntu. I think i remember having those same messages on my linux shell on a particular startup of Aros... Have you changed the xorg.conf already?

Keep on,
Mike

No, I haven't touched it... waiting for the new build (should be out today) and will give that a try.

Yes, you are right...the latest builds didn't work on my Ubuntu as well. Probably the same problem on your machine..

Problem with hosted version was that AROS got only very few RAM. This has recently been fixed. If you have an older version you can use the "-m" parameter to give AROS more RAM. (e.g. ./aros -m 100). The space between m and the value is important.

I have the same problem here and I am using the 2007/09/30 build of aros.

It's installed in Ubuntu 6.10. And I am running it on a VMWare virtual machine with 512Mb ram.

I tried -m with various settings and nothing happens

Rule of thumb when using AROS Nightlies (untill one of the three new AROS distros sees the light of day that is), if it doesn't work, try a couple of builds later.  AROS Nightlies are very raw work and often fail to build because of recent submits.  Right now there are ALOT of commits going in for various projects wrapping up so it's not unusual for bugs to come streaming out of the woodwork with nightlies.

Velocity Distro is due out Oct 31st, keep your fingers crossed.

The 20071001 build is ok. :-)
