Boot Freezes on A Black Screen in VMware Workstation. #3893

Open daemonspudguy opened 3 years ago

daemonspudguy commented 3 years ago

I don't know what it's doing.

Lubrsi commented 3 years ago

IIRC from when I tried it, there's two issues:

The scheduler gets stuck in the idle loop
We need to write a new video driver for VMWare SVGA 2

* The scheduler gets stuck in the idle loop

This sounds like exactly what happens when trying to boot it in Bochs. At least in Bochs it seems like the HPET timer never fires.

Still completely borked.

Yeah because of other bugs. PS/2 has major problems (I'm working on that), and then sounds like we don't have an appropriate svga driver for vmware. You're welcome to contribute ;-)

Lubrsi commented 3 years ago

I noticed it does try to use MBVGA on VMware, not sure if that'll be enough before making an SVGA driver.

Plus there's also an IDE bug that needs to be found and fixed.

Probably related to #3747
