Reply-To: qemu-devel@nongnu.org List-Id: qemu-devel.nongnu.org List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , To: qemu-devel@nongnu.org After much searching I believe I have found a problem with the bochs bios in cvs. I found that I was not able to boot the fedora core 5 or 4 or 3 rescue cds or the Fedora 4 image from free.oszoo.org. Fedora core 2 booted correctly as well as Windows 2000 and Windows XP. I tried the build with and without kqemu support and changed from gcc3.2 to gcc3.4 to no change. I then copied the bios from 0.8.0 and now all boots correctly. My host system is Fedora 4 on X86_64. Is/has anyone else seen this problem? I would like to continue searching for the problem in the bios that I can be of assistance to the list/project. But I am unable to find the tools necessary to build the bochs bios. CPU hang details: The boot process would always hang when probing the ide controller for an irq for hda. Any comments suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Fabrice and all thank you for the great project and keep up the wonderful work. -- Thank You, Ben Dailey bdailey@bhmsd.k12.in.us Asst. Technology Director Bluffton Harrison MSD www.bhmsd.k12.in.us
