Re: Visopsys 0.92 Relased
Both of these are fixed in the next release I'm working on :text-thankyouyellow: very much! Also, Visopsys 0.92 runs fine as a virtual floppy under coreboot+SeaBIOS - if to make a "/ramdisk" file, of course. By the way, please could you tell me the differences between the floppy versions ...

Re: Visopsys 0.92 Relased
It's been a while! :oops: Indeed :D Btw I tried building Visopsys 0.92 from source today, but after building the toolchains (binutils-2.34.90 and gcc-9.3.0, exactly as recommended at BUILDING.txt) - while running "make" at the toplevel directory, I ran into the following problem: Create m...

Re: Visopsys 0.91 - Return of the RAMdisk?
2022 was an awesome year. So much so that I had less time for Visopsys, but I'm now working to get the 0.92 release out the door. I have some big-ish things I'd like to do to modernize it Hi there Andy, I wish you a :text-happynewyear: Thank you so much for wonderful times with Visopsys, hope to tr...

Re: Visopsys 0.91 - Return of the RAMdisk?
just to double-check: you created the file /ramdisk in your floppy image? These error messages look like the kernel doesn't know it's supposed to be booting from a RAM disk. Oops, my bad - I totally forgot about this! :character-cookiemonster: Now, after I made this empty file on a floppy and updat...

Re: Visopsys 0.91 - Return of the RAMdisk?
Can you give this one a try if you're still following along with this thread? Hi there Andy! Sorry it took me such a long time to reach this thread and reply to you (my e-mail is flooded with spam and even if there were notifications I might have missed them) . But finally I'm back and ready for mo...

Re: Visopsys 0.91 - Return of the RAMdisk?
Compressing some things in the filesystem could also work, but ... yuck. Yes, a compression - i.e. of filesystem's part not used while booting a kernel - could work: seeing that a LZMA-compressed Visopsys takes just 451KB, there's a really a room. But I understand the live decompression could be ti...

Re: Visopsys 0.91 - Return of the RAMdisk?
Hi there Andy, I re-read older stuff in our coreboot threads and saw that I was going to put your ramdisk boot feature into the 0.85 release, which it looks like I did. Have you tried that one? Yes, I think I tried your more recent floppy versions, but for some reason only your special 2019-08-09 0....

Re: Visopsys 0.91 - Return of the RAMdisk?
I got a minute just now and tried the /ramdisk. It seems like the RAM disk loading fails for me in the bootloader? The progress bar stops. Is that what you saw? No, when a RAMdisk feature doesn't work - I see the error log identical on top of https://visopsys.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=1536#p1536 t...

Re: Visopsys 0.91 - Return of the RAMdisk?
I'll need to look back at some of the guidance you gave me previously. Thank you. I just re-tested these instructions at https://visopsys.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=1536#p1536 : almost everything works fine, except that ./cbfstool.sh for wgetting a minimal set of sources & building your own cbf...
