i'm not sure if anyone reads this but here is th report of my rather sad experience with jnode 0.2.7 inside virtualbox 2.04 (on top of xp-sp2. CPU AMD X2 4850e, 2.5GHz).

with VT enabled jnode freezes after "enable paging".

without VT booting is possible and takes almost endless time (more than 6 minutes). with the same settings windows xp boots in 15s.

acpi crashes:
Cannot start acpi
java.lang.NullPointerException: NPE at address 0E6C6F7A
at or.jnode.driver.system.acpi.AcpiDriver.startDevice(AcpiDriver.java:98)

dhcp crashes when I tried to start it:
Cannot configure device eth-pci(0,3,0)
org.jnode.driver.net.NetworkException
at org.jnode.net.ipv4.config.impl.NetDhcpConfig.doApply(NetDhcpConfig.java:44)

both errors messages are not significant in any way.

may things work slow, ivoking a command the first time etc.

running the "gc" command takes 30s.

the CPU consumption (of virtual box) is always 100%!

there is no way to find out who consumes the CPU.

i have tested alot of esoteric operating systems but many of them are "highly functional" compared to this.

almost any step gave me a "minefield" feeling.
