running OS on bochs returned error

Question

I'm working on an OS programming project called pintos. It is run on bochs following the command pintos run nameOfProcess

And here's the error message I get

Also my bochsrc.txt

Bochs was built from source with extra configurations on my Ubuntu 11.04

I had the same problem and I asked a question on OSDev forum. I used file=$BXSHARE/BIOS-bochs-legacy because I needed 64K BIOS. It didn't work with:

romimage: file=$BXSHARE/BIOS-bochs-legacy, address=0xf0000

in .bochsrc file. And it works without "address=0xf0000" part.

Try to delete the start address of BIOS here:

romimage: file=$BXSHARE/BIOS-bochs-latest, address=0xe0000

Just leave:

romimage: file=$BXSHARE/BIOS-bochs-latest

in your bochsrc.txt
