I don't own a Commodore 64 anymore. Recently I looked up if it's possible
to run Linux on a C64. Amazingly there is a UNIX-like OS called
LUnix. Since I don't own hardware I used the VICE emulator. But it fails,
see settings for IDE64 and kernel panic at

A Youtuber had it running on VICE but he's not responding to my comments
there. Anyone got LUnix running in VICE?

X'post comp.sys.cbm and comp.emulators.cbm and f'up2 comp.emulators.cbm.

I built my own copy of 2.1 from source and it works fine. IDE64 is commented out by default in the config.h file.

I'm kinda confussed. Are you trying to run a C64 emulator under Linux? or run a
C64 emulator under windows, and the emulator runs linux?

There's Amiga Forever, it has emulation for the C's and Amigas. I've been
playing with it. It's pretty simple

To confuse you and others even more: none of this. I try to run LUnix,
which is a UNIX-like operating system naively on a Commodore64. But
since I don't own a real C64, I emulate it with VICE. So I want to run a
Commodore 64 emulator (VICE, that already works) and in that emulated
Commodore 64 emulator LUnix.

I use UAE when it comes to the Amiga. But my question has nothing to do
with the Amiga. But am now interested to emulate a C64 inside an Amiga,
which is also an emulation. I might even find something to emulate in the
emulated C64. ;-)

I've been sort of following along with this (leaping from lurker mode)
and it begins to look ...

"Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel,
Never ending or beginning,
On an ever-spinning reel

8<----- CUT ----->B

Whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind!"

-- Alan & Marilyn Bergman (1968)

But hang in there it's wild goose chases like this that sometimes yield
amazing discoveries.
