Hi,
did anybody try the --real-mode option with current release? I tried it
on two machines, and on one machine it just reboots, on the other
machine it hangs.
I use
kexec --serial=0x03f8 --serial-baud=57600 --console-serial \
-l /boot/vmlinuz --initrd=/boot/initrd
--append="root=/dev/sda7 console=ttyS0,57600" \
-d
on serial console, it gives me
Starting new kernel
I'm in purgatory
a
b
c
d
e
f
g
h
So it gets until
linux-entry16.S:
191 movw %cs, %ax
192 movw %ax, %ds
193
194 DEBUG_CHAR('h')
195 /* Load the registers */
196 movl eax - entry16, %eax
197 movl ebx - entry16, %ebx
198 movl ecx - entry16, %ecx
199 movl edx - entry16, %edx
Any advise so far? :)
Bernhard
