It comes after the "Loading PilOS" text, and I found the string constant "READ ERROR 00" in the image binary (at 0xBF), so I thought that was PilOS. I also recompiled using the provided source / instructions on the Wiki, and tried booting the resulting "x86_64.bin" in Qemu and bare metal with the same results. > Most of today's BIOSes seem to implement only the absolute minimum, > which is understandable as modern OSes don't call the BIOS so much any > more. My PC's BIOS is the same (un-updated) one it shipped with, but the trouble with BIOSes is that it's unlikely to find two identical confiugurations on any two systems. :) > This is a pity, and I don't know what to recommend.

I was kinda looking forward to having a Lisp OS on bare metal, but maybe this is why there aren't that many. :P I'm all ears if you've any suggestions, and I'll definitely keep an eye on development. ~ cat On Fri, Apr 15, 2016 at 12:57 PM, Alexander Burger <[email protected]> wrote: > On Fri, Apr 15, 2016 at 12:08:56PM -0400, cat stevens wrote: > > Hi!
