freenode/#mezzano - IRC Chatlog

19:55:20 silasfox Hi, I'm trying to run Mezzano on an old laptop on the bare metal.I've dd-ed

19:55:59 silasfox the image.raw after (mezzano.supervisor:snapshot) to the laptop's hard drive,

19:57:27 silasfox but all I get is a black screen with a red line, saying "mezzano: starting system. Entry point is ff8cde49 sp is 00c05c39 info is 00100000"

19:58:53 silasfox I don't guess that that's very helpful, but the framebuffer console doesn't tell me anything I would understand either, and I don't know how to siphon it off to have a closer look at it.

19:59:16 fitzsim the laptop doesn't happen to have a serial port, does it?

20:02:18 fitzsim silasfox: the easiest thing is probably to put "video-console" on the kboot command line

20:03:23 fitzsim silasfox: they're labelled "... framebuffer console ..." in the kboot UI

20:07:48 silasfox fitzsim: No, it doesn't have a serial port.

20:08:21 fitzsim ok, you disconnected... did you see my follow up messages about framebuffer console?

20:09:02 silasfox Yes, I've booted it with the framebuffer console.

20:16:06 silasfox My internet keeps failing, I think I'll come back to this when my connection's fixed and it's not in the middle of the night... Bye, thanks for your advice, fitzsim .

22:03:09 fitzsim OK, how are you?

22:05:14 ebrasca Fine , doing my best to understand ppc64 assembly.

22:07:08 fitzsim nice; are you experimenting with it in SBCL?

22:08:33 ebrasca gcc + qemu

22:10:17 fitzsim neat

22:10:59 fitzsim maybe port this to skiboot while you're at it: https://github.com/Shikhin/tetranglix
