This page describes the current status of the version of GeekOS hosted here.
General Status
Builds on x86. You need to have ruby installed for the "make depend" target to work, and mkisofs is required to build the bootable CD image.
I have only tested booting using Bochs.
Subsystems
Interrupts: working (x86 using i8259A PIC)
Threads: working, including timer-based preemption, and synchronization using mutexes and condition variables
Memory allocation: heap allocation works
Virtual memory: not implemented yet
Devices:
- a general framework for defining and enumerating devices is in place
- timer: works
- VGA text console: works
- ramdisk: implemented but not tested
Virtual filesystem: a design is in place, along with a partial (untested) implementation. The goal is that the generic VFS layer does all the work of maintaining the tree of directories and files, including the required locking. The individual filesystem drivers will just need to implement callbacks for reading and writing data and metadata using a block device.

I'have successfully booted the ISO using VirtualBox? for Ubuntu 8.04.
