Re: Visopsys 0.84+ (2019-08-09) cannot detect a harddrive
Visopsys gets its IRQ routing info from the multiprocessor tables (not ACPI), if that helps. By the way, your 0.85 floppy still doesn't boot if embedded to a BIOS (same errors as your previous releases), so I don't know if your special code - which made 2019-08-09 floppy working as a part of BIOS - ...

Re: Is it possible to PXE boot Partition Logic /Visopsys?
If anyone here is still interested, the newly-released version 0.85 may do what's required here. I implemented it for Coreboot/SeaBIOS support: if you create a file /ramdisk in the root of the floppy disk image, the loader will load the boot medium into memory and pass the address to the kernel, whi...

Re: Visopsys 0.84+ (2019-08-09) cannot detect a harddrive
Sorry for the delay. The patches ended up being quite large, mostly because I'm fussy about my code, and ended up rearranging and reformatting a bunch of (mostly older) stuff. Here's your first link. This is just a debug USB image with my latest code - just in case I've already solved the problem. T...

I hope to finish that tonight or tomorrow night, and then I'll post one or more images for you to try. ...

Re: Visopsys 0.84+ (2019-08-09) cannot detect a harddrive
Yes, I could debug it using a USB. Will be waiting patiently for your USB debug image ;) So after disabling all the PCI interrupts by default: Apparently, yes, on this machine my IDE controller is actually going wild with interrupts, and the OHCI and XHCI USB controllers are doing a few unexpected ...

Re: Visopsys 0.84+ (2019-08-09) cannot detect a harddrive
Update: still working on this, but it's a MOFO tricky one. It's like legitimate devices are interrupting legitimately, but the interrupt service routines (ISRs) of several PCI drivers (IDE, different USB ones) aren't recognizing them, and then complaining about missed interrupts. Very weird, doesn'...

Re: Visopsys 0.84+ (2019-08-09) cannot detect a harddrive
Yeah, looks like something's not quite right with the APIC driver on this machine. There's some device that keeps firing unserviced interrupts and it's messing everything up. It's a complicated thing though, so I'll need a bit of time just to re-read the docs and get my mind back in that zone. Unle...

Re: Visopsys 0.84+ (2019-08-09) cannot detect a harddrive
Thought I'd stop by and see if you'd released another version. I must have had a clairvoyant connection - since you've just mentioned in the previous post that you're about ready to do it. Any networking in the next version uptick or is that still targeted for the dot nine release? With your being ...
