9:17:56 iska I want to flatten out the mezzano cdrom a little bit so I can boot it in uefi

9:50:04 iska it wants like 13k pages while I can only load 11 before running out of heap

9:59:50 iska anyone has a clue why efi has that memory limit to begin with, and can I remove it? cc fitzsim

10:04:45 fitzsim I didn't use EFI, I used coreboot/Libreboot

10:04:56 fitzsim can you install those? they'll probably be way less annoying

10:07:29 fitzsim or you could test in a VM with OVMF first, to get your bearings

10:47:20 iska fitzsim: I don't think there's any support for c612 chipset in coreboot

10:55:23 iska best I can do is manually modifying the bios and fiddling with settings

11:04:49 iska changed bios settings a little

11:05:27 iska Looking for paging disk with UUID 5C:F6:EE:79:2C:DF:5:A1:BA:4B:63:25:C4:1A:5F:10

11:05:27 iska (before "could not find boot device" panic)

11:12:29 iska FF's on apic still there

11:23:43 iska oh wow, disabling XAPIC2 fixed that

11:49:31 iska how is apic done in mezzano?

11:53:01 froggey hmm, interesting. there's no xapic2 support. I guess it should do some validation to make sure the apic version is right

11:55:12 froggey local apic stuff is all handled by supervisor>x86-64>cpu.lisp, it's used for the preemption timer & smp support

11:56:15 froggey does it get further with xapic2 disabled?

12:04:47 iska nope, still can't detect the drive

12:05:48 iska which input offset do I need to satisfy flatten-image?

12:06:13 iska (on the iso)

12:14:53 froggey I'm not sure that works, I always produced a raw image, flattened that, then generated the iso from the new flattened image

12:16:15 iska I want to re-flatten that image so it may fit in what efi kboot allows me to use

12:27:17 iska actually, my own cdrom I made a while back gives me a panic in efi too. Clears up a lot of things
