This series changes the injection of the fake copyright message such that it is included just before control is handled to the client. The motivation behind this is that older versions of the MacOS bootloader don't call the adler32 word which means the injection is omitted and boot fails.
Great, thanks! Seems to work fine for me.
Excellent!
The first patch is actually a build fix (and will likely be applied separately) while the rest of the patchset ensures that the message is only visible to the bootloader client as discussed on the mailing list.
This means it is available in the guest OSes too (e.g. in the devicetree under /sys on Linux), which I hope is OK.
Does adding a call to delete-fake-copyright in ciface_quiesce() as found in arch/ppc/qemu/methods.c help here?
ATB,
