Introduction

[Philippe Clérié]

Hello,

I've been asked to help some people who are involved with the OLPC 
project in Haiti. I've been following the OLPC since Nicolas Negroponte 
announced it way back when plus I've been working with Linux for 
several years now. So it seems I know a little bit more and I may be 
useful.

I downloaded one the latest images (build 2180 I think) to run on 
QEMU/KVM. On QEMU it stops with the following message:

This kernel requires the following features not present on the CPU:
3dnow
 
KVM does not seem to work at all. I have not been able to find much on 
these problems. I was hoping someone could shed some light.

My computer is running Kubuntu Hardy by the way. :-) 

I suppose I'll have to switch to Fedora, but I don't have the bandwidth 
to download a DVD.

Regards
Philippe
