<iska>I'm trying to use HURD with qemu but I get a garbage screen <youpi>iska: there used to be a bug in grub, which is fixed in the latest relases <iska>I'm using the last snapshot tho <iska>I'm going to reboot to see if it helps <iska>I'm using march 31 build <youpi>describing more precisely what you do and the content of the screen, e.g. a screen shot, would immensely help in having any slight idea what could be going wrong <iska>qemu-system-i386 -enable-kvm -cpu host -smp 6 -m 8G -drive file=/mnt/aar/iso/debian-hurd-20220331.img,format=raw,cache=writeback <damo22>dont use 8G ram, only 4 and smp is useless currently <iska>I also did qemu-system-x86_64 with same results <iska>I wanted to test if more memory would work, turns out I was wrong <damo22>although i dont know why that would fail <youpi>uh, never saw that kind of garbage <iska>I think it was actually because of xmp <youpi>at which point of the boot does it get garbled? <youpi>(not getting this issue here even with 8G ram and smp 6) <youpi>perhaps you could try without -enable-kvm <youpi>to see if that could be a bogus optimization in kvm <iska>maybe this is arch being arch (it's artix but whatever) <iska>also, maintenence mode had a normal screen <youpi>it exposes all cpuid flags supported by the real cpu, to the guest <youpi>thus enabling all optimizations in the guest <iska>disabled acceleration, now it's working fine <damo22>so without kvm the garble goes away? <youpi>that doesn't mean it's the culprit <youpi>it just means it's a trigger <youpi>then whether the culprit is inside kvm or the hurd console , that's another investigation <iska>I mean at least I found a bug <youpi>we don't lack finding bugs :) we lack investigating bugs <iska>I want to help with that as well <iska>-enable-kvm doesn't cause the garbage <iska>-m 8G and -smp 6 give no errors but don't see the extra threads and memory <iska>I just realized what's wrong <iska>I think one or few cpu flags messes with pseudo graphics mode ***Shentino_ is now known as Shentino
