Hi all,
Did anyone manage to start the Fiasco kernel on the Intel MacBooks?
I have a MacBook Pro and get an error about the memory region beeing used by a BIOS.
The reason is probably the BIOS emulation:
For booting legacy BIOS-based operating systems, Apple takes a completely non-standard approach. The CSM (compatibility support module) is not loaded at all by default. When the decision is made to boot a BIOS-based operating system, a special EFI application is loaded from the firmware ROM to kick off the BIOS boot process. When the user chooses Windows as the default operating system in the “Startup Disk” pane, the NVRAM variables are actually set to point at this special loader, plus a parameter that tells it which device to boot from. - http://refit.sourceforge.net/info/boot_process.html
If that is an unknown problem, maybe there's some memory offset somewhere that I can try to adjust?
thanks, Steffen
