Hi,
I think I'm a step further.
I have done the following so far.
I have created a nova environment where run/demo works and opens a qemu environment (now without stalling).
To make it boot directly i used the following.
The OS (Ubuntu12.04 with latest patches) has no grub like in http://genode.org/documentation/platforms/nova , but grub2
I created in /boot a directory genode and copied /var/run/demo/ hypervisor -> /boot/genode /var/run/demo/* -> /boot/genode
In /etc/grub.d I created a boot entry file 42_genode: #!/bin/sh cat << EOF menuentry "Genode" { insmod ext3 multiboot /genode/hypervisor iommu serial module /genode/core module /genode/config config module /genode/init init module /genode/timer timer module /genode/nitpicker nitpicker module /genode/liquid_fb liquid_fb module /genode/launchpad launchpad module /genode/scout scout module /genode/testnit testnit module /genode/nitlog nitlog module /genode/pci_drv pci_drv module /genode/ps2_drv ps2_drv module /genode/fb_drv fb_drv }
afterwards I run 'sudo update-grub' and restarted the system.
I found the new entry Genode in the boot menu and selected it.
First it showed :
file not found
afterwards shortly the nova bootline (i5) and then the genode demo screen.
The following problems occured: - On top of the window a blank black line appeared. - A Launchpad is shown - but with only Quota shown ( I attached a screenshot - that displays it more easy. ) - No cursor appears.
I checked the /boot/genode subdirectory.
There all files which are set in the 42_genode boot entry are available.
Is there a hint or a debug output to see what happens during boot?
If the grub2 menuentry is correct, maybe you could add it to http://genode.org/documentation/platforms/nova as the suggested ubuntu on the page supports grub2 out of the box?
Is there something missing?
Best regards, Wolfgang
