Hi,
I wanna try some more things with the Wine package in buildroot, but I can't easily setup a testing environment for a PC.
One part is which bootloader to use and how to pack everything together to a bootable USB-Stick, HDD image or CD. (And I didn't found a defconfig for that)...
The other part is about the nvidia-driver, I'll need the legacy one for my card. Can I simply alter the version number in the makefile?

Andr?, All,

$ make list-defconfigs |grep x86
qemu_x86_64_defconfig - Build for qemu_x86_64
qemu_x86_defconfig - Build for qemu_x86
So I'd suggest you use qemu for that.

No, we don't have a defconfig for a traditional PC.

I'm not sure the legacy driver has the same "layout" (in terms of
buildsystem) as the current driver, so I would not bet on it...
However, if as I suggested above, you were to use qemu, you would not
need to setup a bootloader. You can tell qemu to directly boot a kernel,
see:
board/qemu/x86/readme.txt
As for the video driver, qemu does not (yet!) provide a 3D-accelerated
graphics card, but you can use mesa3d for SW OpenGL if you need that.
I guess using qemu will be more efficient than using a real PC, at least
as long as you're not looking at performance, and especially graphics
performance.
Well, at least, that's what I would be doing. ;-)

Yann E. MORIN.

Hi,
Thanks for the hints.
But I really need bare metal for my intents, qemu won't help.
As soon as I have more time I'll try, if I succeed I'll also try to upstream a defconfig.

Check out BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_ISO9660_HYBRID (after enabling the
syslinux/isolinux bootloader and the iso9660 filesystem). It makes a bootable
USB image.

That could be trickier...

Sounds great, tried it.
Sadly it fails on boot like this:
ISOLINUX 6.03 EHDD Copyright (C) 1994-2014 H. Peter Anvin et al
Loading /boot/vmlinux... ok
Booting kernel failed: Invalid argument
Any idea?

Doesn't give much information :-( I tried it in a virtualbox and then isolinux
doesn't even load the kernel...
