not sure why you wouldn't be able to load image-manip.lisp. is there anything in the serial log?

well I found the function for changing mezzano's resolution, but I also need to switch the video mode.
13:12:48
froggey
the video mode is set by the bootloader, you can edit the bootloader config file in tools/kboot/kboot.cfg to change it
13:13:29
froggey
but that requires rebuilding the disk image header using tools/kboot/build-disk-header, which requires a bunch of other tools too

I'm sure there's a way to resize the display from within qemu, in terms of the emulated hardware, but I haven't looked into that

are there any compiler optimizations you're looking to add the most? one (badly written) algorithm took 31 seconds in sbcl and ~3400 in mezzano

froggey
you might be running into some slow implementation of something, rather than a compiler issue

hmm, maybe try specifying :input-offset #x400000 to flatten-image? I don't quite remember exactly what you have to do there
17:03:43
froggey
you might need to use dd to extract the partition from the raw image, then run flatten-image directly on that new file

I tried offsets #x400000, (* 2 1024 1024), (* 6 1024 1024) and (* 8 1024 1024), all same error
