Well, after some problems, I succeeded to have SETI-Bionc running on my laptop.
So I went to my Xbox hacked (Xebian 1.1.4 ) which happilly runs Seti classic since 1,5 year and
1- I stopped SETI-Classic
2- Launched BOINC and .....

23/07/2005 23:38:51|SETI@home|Scheduler request to http://setiboinc.ssl.berkeley.edu/sah_cgi/cgi succeeded
23/07/2005 23:38:51|SETI@home|Message from server: No work sent
23/07/2005 23:38:51|SETI@home|Message from server: (there was work but your computer doesn't have enough memory)
23/07/2005 23:38:51|SETI@home|No work from project
23/07/2005 23:38:51|SETI@home|Deferring communication with project for 23 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds

Einstein and Climate prediction work both fine..

I am very disappointed..
Why this memory problem?

Thank you for your help.
FYI :
my computers are 1203892 & 1201849

You need 64k or more to keep the graphics from killing the process....

That is 64 MEG of ram free AFTER the OS loads.

Why ?
Seti Classic runs perfectly under X11 / TkSeti
AND more : there are NO available graphics on Linux for Boinc...

And Einstein@Home Climate prediction runs perfectly.

I suppose this test was intended for Windows boxes.

What Classic, or other projects will or wont do have no bearing on what Boinc Seti does......

From what I can gather, SETI Boinc requires at least 64MB of RAM to run in - after your OS loads. Many report that 80MB is the minimum RAM you need so I put this to the test. I have an *old* P166 running SETI Boinc (view my computers - bottom of the list LOL). 80MB would not get it to run, but 96MB got it fired up.

I'm not familiar with Xbox hacking but if there is a way to increase RAM then you should be able to get SETI Boinc working.
