Hi all, Raz, maybe you should check the bootloader.
Another clue is the MBR of your HDD : having a disk image could provide you a bootloader (personaly I use syslinux/extlinux) but does not alter the MBR (sector 0). Probably you should write the proper MBR for the bootlader you use. This also applies to Virtual Box machines. 2011/7/12 Raz <razi...@gmail.com> > yes, this is exactly what i did though I read the x86 pdf. qemu worked. > problem now is that i try to boot it from real hardware but it fails.
