bootimage / bootloader config and update #10

Closed Harry-R closed 5 years ago

Harry-R commented 5 years ago

When running make qemu on stage0 branch:

$ make qemu
bootimage build --target x86_64-eduos.json
Error: Failed to read bootimage configuration: unexpected `package.metadata.bootimage` key `bootloader` with value `name = "bootloader"
target = "x86_64-bootloader.json"
`
make: *** [Makefile:30: bootimage.bin] Error 1

So there seem to be some braking changes in config format.

When investigating the error, I found in the doc, that: Note: At least bootloader version 0.5.1 is required since bootimage 0.7.0. For earlier bootloader versions, use bootimage 0.6.6, but we use bootloader = "0.3.4"

Easy workaround would be to downgrade bootimage to 0.6.6 (I tested it and it works), but I think upgrading and fixing the config would be the better way.

Oh, I dropped the support of bootloader. Try make run to start the kernel. I don't longer use QEMU, I run the kernel in my own hypervisor ehyve.

Okay, than better remove qemu commands from Makefile and Cargo.toml to not confuse people?

yes, it is obsolete
