More headway today. I have made a start16.S which contains the trampoline into 16bit mode. And loader.S just contains the code specific to loading from a pcbios rom chip. An interesting part of all of the refactoring is that now I have elf images working for the pcbios etherboot case as well. Yah, mode code isn't LinuxBIOS specific anymore... The 64k etherboot limit is gone. The big todo items left are: - test non elf etherboot images, in pcbios mode. - clean up allocation of the real mode stack. I initially set it to 64k, and then move it to just below meminfo.basememsize (the top of available real mode memory) after get_memsizes() is called. - make the pcbios exit function work again. Hopefully in the next couple days I can get this checked in and people not running LinuxBIOS can try this. What do you think, etherboot recursively booting etherboot at LinuxWorld? Eric |
