This:

Once it gets to that screen after 10 seconds it closes out.

Well,the long pause after "ATS Server" is normal as I recall.
BSD root found,it goes right.

???

qemu window closes?Itself?It's strange.If so is it OK with your system?In the worst case it can stall on this screen but shouldn't close.

yes, it seems fine

A number of months ago, when we were looking at the USB sound, we discovered that the FPU was the culprit in causing the delays to the sound buffer. I still think that the floating point unit is the culprit here (and in a number of other performance areas) and the tinycode is going to band-aid it, but not really fix the issue.

Has anyone started looking at implementing a new streamlined FPU module? It would take me a few years to do it, but if nobody else is, I might start.

I'm not sure we can say the FPU is the problem. It was more of a theory rather than a proven fact.


I have. I tried making it so that floating point math was handled by the host floating point unit. Things did not work out. Just changing the optimization level of GCC was enough to make the code break. I could show you my patch if you want.

How would you go about making QEMU's floating point unit faster?

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Maybe try:



or

Maybe 1024x768x16 or 800x600x16.I think it's an sdl-specific issue.I met it in MacOS sdl build.It happens only in DPs and Server in 32-bit mode.
Is it the August qemu build or the new one?

It's your build

You may try my build also without -sdl.Interesting to try the older one,too.It seems that in August build there was no such effect.

I get up to the installation and get this: (IGNORE THE ^A)

Hmm...At what moment does it happen?

When it's preparing for the installation

It seems started without -sdl and 1024x768?Does this screen appear after grafical Installer or before?

before

Edit: DP4 loading screen is up! Got pass the closing down @ Starting ATS Server part!!

And it stays on this screen?No move?Is it x8 or x16 graphics?

x8 It closes down automatically after it says "done"

EDIT: NO SPACE TO INSTALL ON FOR DP4 TOO?!?!?!?

Your host screen resolution seems non-standard.What is it?
Ah,have you come to graphics installer?

Don'y know, how can I check?

No i only get up to preparing for installation

Oh then I don't understand where you are now..

For DP2 I need x8, or the boot process stop with a garbled screen at BootX, and I don't think it ever loads the Kernel.

Oh,it passes by and switches to resolution you assign on command line.

I set:



And BootX shows at that resolution, but once the Kernel loads, it switches to 640x480x16 or 32, I'm not sure.



There doesn't appear to be a way to change the screen resolution in DP2, the Mac OS Preferences, doesn't have anyway to change it under Displays.


As you said before, alex, DP2 is really buggy, sometimes it launches two Finders. Shutdown doesn't really work all the time, and many other bugs, but Classic does run, once you set it up with the MacOS.app.
