I waited 5 min. Seems like it is locked.

It looked to boot okay. All the info screens worked. Lots of kewl stuff
to play with.
hmm. so it looks GRUB didn't like VMWARE much more than SOS did. can you tell whether it hangs before or after the GRUB menu ?
I loaded wrwdemo it may have locked up, I am not sure. It said, "read-WRITE-demo" and "PagingDebugger" installed. I restarted it and tried right off the bat, and it loaded wrdemo.
The process viewer is nice. I can not tell what some of the modules do in the module list. I load them, but can find no screen, I may not understand where they are.
there are a few words about all those modules in my wiki
http://clicker.sourceforge.net/wiclicke ... tingModule
Some modules are "uninteractive demos", others are "interactive tests", others again are "managers" and finally there are some "internal" modules, bringing functionnalities but nothing you can directly toy with ...
I loaded a few modules, now it seems like I can not load anymore. I click enter when having one selected but it does not do anything. Is there a maxmium number of modules that can be loaded?
I am getting a Warning: Message for queue 0031AE88 dropped: no more space in buffers.
That's likely there's a module remaining in "debug mode", that has put the module loader thread in "wait for anykey before going any further", and requests from the front end accumulate in the queue... can you tell which module was the last to be loaded properly ?
The paging-viewMap tool is hard to understand, but it does the job once you figure out how to read the numbers.
well, yes ... that's more a guru-meditation tool. i shall document its behaviour asap.
It is hard to tell what the kernel is doing when it starts up though, everything is bunched up in a non-scrolling window. Is there a way to scroll it?
no. the console is there for guru meditation aswell, and gurus here felt it was of no use to scroll it. they were just happy when the console "wrapped around" instead and only kept the last 22 rows. Since i'm moving to a graphical display during evolution 9, it shouldn't be a matter.
