====== Daniel Verkamp: COMBOOT Support ====== ===== Journal ===== ==== Week 6 ==== ---- === 30 June 2008 === * Discussed (with hpa and mcb30) implementation of newer Run kernel image function and Get configuration filename function; learned that menu.c32 and friends take an optional command line parameter to specify the configuration filename, so for now I will avoid implementing the configuration filename function until I'm sure how to do it to ensure the best compatibility with SYSLINUX/PXELINUX. Added parsing of kernel command line to get initrd= parameter and load it, but unfinished, as I am not sure of the best way to load the initrd myself (building a command to pass to system(), exposing some of the hci functionality internally, etc.) === 01 July 2008 === * Finished initial implementation of "Run kernel image" function; testing it with the standard gtest.gpxe/tomsrtbt images, it fails in the middle of loading the bzimage (qemu reports a jump outside of memory); worked on trying to debug this for a while, but DEBUG=bzimage didn't print any messages, so it seems to be before the bzimage image type even gets involved. More debugging tomorrow, and maybe the GDB stub will help...
