Hi,
I'm able to compile L4 Fiasco + DOpE + L4Linux and test run on Qemu. But when i run it on the real machine, the GRUB seems don't support for modaddr and vbeset command.
Are you sure you are running the right version of grub? Grub should display a version string like "GNU GRUB version 0.97-os.7"
I got the GRUB-0.97 source from Adam's website and compile successfully.
But what is the next step after this in order to boot directly on the current machine? I tried to copy directly the compiled files to /boot/grub but it didn't shows the menu.lst
You definitely need to install it first. Here is a good site that explains the installation process: http://orgs.man.ac.uk/documentation/grub/grub_3.html
Thanks for that. I had 'make install' and 'grub-install hd0' the GRUB and now it's running on GNU GRUB version 0.97-os.7. It's now able to run the command like 'modaddr' and 'vbeset'
instead of that, i'm also not sure about how to tftpboot to another
machine? any site or instructions on how to achieve this?
There are a lot of howto-site around. Try to google words like "pxegrub tftp dhcp". Depending on your distribution you may add words like ubuntu or debian. Basically, you need a dhcp server in order to assign your client an IP address and to tell the client where to find the pxegrub binary. Of course, you also need a tftpserver to serve the files. Have a look at dnsmasq which implements a lightweight dhcp, dns and tftp server. This one works for me here.
I'll look into this. Thanks alot Andre.
