What have you tried so far??? What problems are you having?

The documentation is here: http://www.mosix.org/index.html, and OpenSuSE 11.1 kernels are here: http://www.mosix.org/txt_eval.html

I don't know whether i am having problems as such .. but this is what i did in brief

Step 1 :- Tried to run the mosix.install script -> didn't work :(
Step 2 :- Downloaded the kernel 2.6.30.3 and applied the patch using this command

$ cd <kernel_source> (/usr/src/linux-2.6.30.3)
$ sudo patch -p1 < <path of the patch file i.e mosix patch file>

Then i build the .deb packages using the documentation given @ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile

i got the following .deb files ( it took long time ) i.e main one and header one

$ sudo dpkg -i <kernel-main one >
$ sudo dpkg -i <kernel-headers>

and rebooted and kernel worked fine :)

I think Mosix was inbuilt into kernel which i compiled .. and later ran the mosix.install using sudo but didn't work though ... so started the script using root login and didn't work :(

# ./mosix-install
60 .verinfo is not found something like this i got
i checked whether verinfo file was there in extracted mosix dir and it was there ..
Hope that this helps u to sort my problem , i guess something is wrong with the installation script :(

Please spell out your words. And we need to know what the exact error message is. Need more than "didn't work" and "something like this".

And an obvious one...are you sure Mosix is supported under Ubuntu?

I have no earthly idea whether mosix is supported in ubuntu :(
Yeah..i did install those deb packages

This is what i m getting after executing mosix.install

Code:

root@len_y410:~/Desktop/mosix-2.27.0.1# ./mosix.install 

.: 60: verinfo: not found

Code:

root@len_y410:~/Desktop/mosix-2.27.0.1# cat verinfo
