Huh, I think HN killed their git server, I started the clone and it's just sitting there doing nothing after 100K. Eventually dies with: pdos.csail.mit.edu[0:

Huh, I think HN killed their git server, I started the clone and it's just sitting there doing nothing after 100K. Eventually dies with: pdos.csail.mit.edu[0: 128.52.129.126]: errno=Connection timed out Just FYI for anyone else trying. I looked and this seems to be a mirror that contains the branch they mention: https://github.com/sometimesfood/xv6 https://github.com/sometimesfood/xv6 and you might need this (I did): sudo apt-get install libc6-dev-i386 but the stock qemu didn't seem to work, their server is kaput, and no mirror on github :(

I think this is the official mirror: https://github.com/mit-pdos/xv6-public https://github.com/mit-pdos/xv6-public

I contacted them and they said use this: git://github.com/mit-pdos/xv6-public.git And OP should correct the original link to: https://pdos.csail.mit.edu/6.828/2014/xv6.html https://pdos.csail.mit.edu/6.828/2014/xv6.html

  Has anyone gotten their qemu to compile? I patched around this problem (I have gcc 4.something): ansel:~/xv6/qemu ./configure --disable-kvm ERROR: glib-2.12 required to compile QEMU and then hit this one: ansel:~/xv6/qemu ./configure --disable-kvm ERROR: DTC not present. Your options: (1) Preferred: Install the DTC devel package (2) Fetch the DTC submodule, using: git submodule update --init dtc got the submodule, did a make: Makefile:116: * target pattern contains no `%'. Stop. I'm on Ubuntu 14.04.3 and up to date.

    Which qemu are you cloning? When we taught 6.828 over IAP term we ported the patches to qemu 1.7.0 and put them up at https://github.com/geofft/qemu https://github.com/geofft/qemu. I see the repo has a 2.3.0 and 2.4.0 branch now too. I last built 1.7.0 on Debian 6 (squeeze); newer Debian and Ubuntu should work fine. (Make sure you have libsdl1.2-dev installed)

      I got it to work but I have no idea how. I tried all the branches and the official sources, they all failed the same way. I deleted and recloned the 1.7.0 branch and that worked. Shrug. Thanks for your help.

MIT PDOS also cleaned up its infrastructure a while back. Jon (a student there who does cool scalability research) replaced the old ailing server that hosted a lot of things and that wasn't really maintained by anybody with a set of modern vms, not sure if he also moved over the public git server...
