Re: Fwd: Running Fiasco.OC in Bochs

Hi Norman,

Björn told me about your problem because I write my Belegarbeit using a 
Framework which includes Bochs. I was not able to reproduce your exact 
error, but since I have experienced faults at the same stage of booting 
when I started with Bochs, my workaround might at least be worth a try.

Using your setup, my Bochs instance hung up instead of reporting a 
double fault, but then again, everything worked when I disabled the PCI 
bridge. So maybe

pci: enabled=0

in bochsrc or even omitting the --enable-pci parameter while configuring 
might help in your case. In general, I experienced that compiling Bochs 
with less configuration parameters usually produces a better emulator.

Regards,

Martin
