I used your BIOS-bochs-legacy with the 64k elf header from the repository and your BIOS-bochs-latest with the 129k elf header. Here is the output from the serial console for the 64k version: hdb1:/boot/adlo.legacy.elf hda: LBA: IC35L020AVER07-0 hdb: LBA: WDC WD800JB-00JJC0 Mounted ext2fs Loading image... Loaded 66560 bytes in 55ms (1210KB/s) Jumping to entry point... BIOS entry. FATAL: Keyboard error:31 With the 129k version I get no output from the BIOS: Enter boot: hdb1:/boot/adlo.elf hda: LBA: IC35L020AVER07-0 hdb: LBA: WDC WD800JB-00JJC0 Mounted ext2fs Loading image... Loaded 132096 bytes in 111ms (1190KB/s) Jumping to entry point... Both of these got farther than the simpler elf.
