Subject: ELKS disk images updated
Date: Sun, 19 Feb 2012 12:09:08 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4F412CB4.3070809@jodybruchon.com> (raw)
I have taken the liberty of updating the ELKS disk images to include the
shiny new 0.1.4 kernel. I have also noticed many very strange bugs
leading to infinite loops or locking myself out of the system (at least
in QEMU). These can be fixed down the road. I am also going to try to
disassemble the MINIX boot files at some point, since the only boot
loader source we have is the bootsect.S in the kernel tree, which is
useless if you want to load from a filesystem and not just dump the
kernel straight to the disk. Also, note that the floppy signature for
larger disk images is not present, so for QEMU in particular, you must
specify the -no-fd-bootchk option. Once I disassemble the boot code
(don't have time to do it right now), I'll fix this problem as well.
Anyway, have a look at the disk images:
