<damo22>i fixed stuck console with smp 1

<damo22>with no smp i mean as well

<damo22>the scheduler does not seem to work properly though, my vm is idle most of the time trying to boot and nothing is running

<gnucode>damo22: Is it easier to test these kinds of things in a vm?

<damo22>i cant develop on native hw, its too inconvenient

<gnucode>hmmm. fair enough. I guess that makes sense. If the hardware crashes all the time, how are you going to debug things?

<gnucode>rhetorical question...

<damo22>i can pause the machine when it crashes and see what the registers are with qemu

<damo22>there are a number of benefits

<damo22>Timer DCR=0x3 (divide by 16) initial_count = 257800

<damo22>how do i calibrate the timer to expire at HZ?

<damo22>i am not sure its working correctly

<damo22>i used the pit timer to measure the number of lapic ticks in 1/hz seconds

<damo22>do i just use that value?

<damo22>seems like it should just use calibrated_ticks as the value of the counter
