liveandroid on 233MHz Pentium MMX Error

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Copy live android to HDD
2. Boot from HDD with appropriate changes to menu.1st of grub
3. After kernel uncompression, error is generated

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expect that kernel will continue to boot. But gives error "CPU does not
support cmov instruction, Please use an appropriate kernel for your CPU".

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.3. I have installed liveandroid on hdd partition. The parition is
originally running macpup. Install method is: 
  1. Copy all files to /liveandroid folder
  2. Modify grub boot menu to point to kernel "kernel" and use "ramdisk" as
initrd

Please provide any additional information below.

In the worst case, I want to know if it is still possible to use the same
kernel or can I just recompile the code somehow for Pentium MMX compatible
instruction set only?

Using Sharp Mebius FJ-10 for testing with Macpup Dingo installed.

 saravanan, how do you copy to the HDD ? Is it already mounted ?

I guess that you have a previously installed linux, and then copy the ISO to 
HDD ?

Here it boots fine but don't know how to load system.sqs

its a live CD, its not meant to be loaded from the hard disk.   By the sounds of
things, your PC is much too old. I think minimum spec as at least 500Mhz+ cpu 
and
256Mb of ram.

the kernel is loading fine from the harddisk, same for the ramdisk. But 
system.sqs 
seems to be not mounted

jp.hayward: Yes, it is a live cd. But I think after the bootloader recognizes 
which 
device to boot from, the kernel should not have any problems for booting. It is 
as 
good as making a live usb drive...

 My system is definitely a decade old, but I'm typing from it this very minute and 
its fully functional with Macpup ! If only I could get Android to work on this 
one, 
I am sure it can find a multitude of uses for me. I am sure this would be true 
for 
anyone who has a older system as a spare.
If Macpup can boot and work wonderfully from my system (with all that graphics 
jin-
ga-la-la including), I am sure Android too can be made to work that way, 
barring we 
can get Dalvik to perform well...

Sorry for the long story, I just wanted to clarify my objective. Hope I could 
get to 
recompile this or someone could very kindly afford some time to compile it with 
only 
the i386 instruction set... I am now trying to understand the sources as of now.

Antonio:
Sorry for not reporting; I tried with my P4 and it would just get struck at the 
Live 
Android splash screen... does not move forward and I can't get any command 
terminal 
by pressing ctrl+F1... I didn't get the issue you have with system.sqs... are 
you 
getting this err after the splash screen or before ?

I am also hoping for a recompiled kernel without the need for cmov. Anyone have 
any 
resources how I might be able to do this? Or is there any kind soul out there 
willing 
to do it themselves?

escaladez: Since I could not get the source code for live-android, I moved on 
to android-x86 and trying to 
compile it now - let me see if I could spend some real time doing this...  I 
hope that live-android source would 
be released one day - someone let me know in case of any information on 
live-android source code...

Hi escaladez,
Try Android-x86 project. It's much better than live-android.
They also provides full source code so you can easily customize
everything yourself. See http://www.android-x86.org
Very nice screenshots in their websites.
