Hi,
since Qemu can't boot Windows Vista reliably and Bochs can, I wondered whether Bochs can run LinuxBIOS v3. Patrick Georgi tried it and even got to the GRUB2 welcome screen, where it crashed with a triple fault.
This is what Patrick wrote in IRC:
http://openbios.org/~oxygene/lbv3.bochs is the config I used (to be started from lbv3's root directory) it's configured to send serial0 to /dev/stdout I get "Welcome to GRUB!" now, but then it crashes on a triple fault :) http://pastebin.com/m749c3e36 bochs output
Will we try to get LBv3 running in Bochs? Benefits would be: * One more soft hardware platform to test code with (although the emulated hardware is very similar to that of Qemu) * Bochs seems to support Vista and we may have success running Vista with LBv3 in Bochs
Regards, Carl-Daniel
