Looks good. > And there still isn't any VGA output. :( Can you try a few different graphics cards? My GeForce 6200 cheapo card works well. > Is this halt_sys supposed to be there? Yes. The emulator halts after returning from the call to the VGA ROM entry point. I sent a patch to add a friendlier message to explain this at runtime but it got no feedback. Changing the halt_sys message itself is not trivial because the message is printed in a debugging function in the emulator generic for all opcodes. My patch simply added a new message. http://marc.info/?l=linuxbios&m=120173549921329 Torsten suggested to also check that the halt is indeed after return from the VGA ROM and not within the ROM, which is a good idea, but I don't have an implementation. //Peter -- coreboot mailing list [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
