[LinuxBIOS] Current Status - GSoC Booting Windows

[Augusto Pedroza]

Hi all,

I found out the output error messages due to missing interrupts are not
responsible for hanging windows boot.

Since QEMU is able to support win2k and winXP using a full bochs bios, I
have been investigating all the initialization done in the file
rombios32.cin order to find out what has to be added/changed en
LinuxBIOS/ADLO.
I just updated the wiki:
http://www.linuxbios.org/Booting_Windows_using_LinuxBIOS

We are also trying to get FREELDR to work with LinuxBIOS with the help of
the ReactOS project.

Please feel free to suggest anything.

Thanks,

[Peter Stuge]

Well, I'll once again say that I think the ARC specification seems
interesting. But I assume FREELDR people will already know all those
details. :)
