Great job! We are closer to get rid of OpenHackware.
However I have tried those patches with the latest SVN from
OpenBios,
and I am unable to get the machine booting. Do we need other
patches for
OpenBios or QEMU? It would be nice to make them available, even
if they
are not ready for merge.
Yes, we need more patches:
- for qemu, an nvram cleanup I already sent some month ago, and a
little PCI
cleanup patch.
Could you please resent it? I will apply it if everything is ok.
Here it is.
Note that the NVRAM is stored into a file.
One problem with this is that the file is written to current
directory, so running Qemu leaves these files everywhere. Maybe the
user should explicitly request using a NVRAM file and with that also
specify the location of it?
