I agree. I've been interacting with the bochs developers since I started (about a month and half ago). > Have you proposed replacing the bios to the bochs developers? What was the > reaction? The reaction was pretty "quiet". The bochs project is not nearly as active as kvm, and the bios is just one small part of that project. Now that the new code can actually launch a wide variety of payloads, I'm hoping there will be more interest. BTW, if anyone is interested in testing, please grab the 0.2.1 version - the v0.2.0 version had a nasty bug on disk writes to large disks (assuming one uses an OS that writes to disk via the bios). -Kevin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Register now and save $200.
