I recently built the microkernel and tried to boot it using "qemu" but it
doesn't work. qemu just seems to not even seem to recognize the image as a
bootable image. I followed the instructions given on the site and everything
worked, right up to the point where it doesn't boot. I must say though that I
did slightly tweak the steps given on the site to create the image file since
the original ones didn't work for me. I am really new to qemu so I don't have
the slightest clue as to why this isn't working. If anyone experienced this
problem or at least know how to resolve this please help me.
The step I followed in order to create the image follows:
dd if=/dev/zero of=l4-image.img bs=512 count=8640mke2fs l4-image.imgmkdir
/media/mount_pointmount -o loop l4-image.img /media/mount_pointmkdir
/media/mount_point/bootmkdir /media/mount_point/boot/grubcp -aR grub_stages/*
/media/mount_point/boot/grubcp -aR modules/* /media/mount_pointumount
/media/mount_point
