Sorry for disturbing you:)

I got this:

rom address for PCI: 04:06.0 = fff80000
copying VGA ROM Image from 0xfff80000 to 0xc0000, 0x9000 bytes
entering emulator
halt_sys: file /src/LinuxBIOSv2/src/devices/emulator/x86emu/ops.c, line 4387
PCI: 04:08.0 init

besides it displays the rest booting stuff, so what's this???

it means that it successfully ran the VGA rom.

We need more serial output.

Agreed. That message SUCKS. I will accept patches :-)

This is the code that prints the message in src/include/x86emu/x86emu.h

#ifdef  DEBUG
#define HALT_SYS()      \
        printk("halt_sys: file %s, line %d\n", __FILE__, __LINE__); \
        X86EMU_halt_sys();
#else
#define HALT_SYS()      X86EMU_halt_sys()
#endif

DEBUG is undefined in devices/emulator/x86emu/debug.h and never set in
the emulator files.. any idea why the message is printed at all?

so we know that vga emulation terminated correctly ...

I agree that a message makes sense. I just wonder where DEBUG gest set
in this context. devices/emulator/x86emu/debug.h explicitly undefs DEBUG
so I'd assume the message would not be printed by default?!
