Hello Adam,

Yea, I found the "make help" after sending off the messages and was able to take the latest "snapshot" (non-git) and build things, but have had only limited success in running them on my Intel NUC13 Ubuntu 23.10 (x64) system.

I can run the "hello*.efi" versions with the "make qemu" but it seems that the framebuffer example cannot map a VGA screen and it might be something in the "dtc" which is the hardware settings for L4Re, if I read the documentation correctly, but am not sure on this.

Interestingly, is that if I take the "git" version of l4re and build things with "ham" then the framebuffer example will run under qemu with "make qemu" to execute it. the l4linux-mag will boot up the graphics but then it just shows a blank window and I suspect that the same errors (below) are happening with the errors " terminate called after throwing an instance of 'N2L413Runtime_errorE'"

For bot the git and non-git builds, the VM-multi and VM-multi-p2p examples l4re boots and I make it through SIGMA0, MOD, and NED while the Console Server also boots up, but then I get and errors in the VM's starting:

I think there is some VGA video problem somewhere that is preventing the VM's from completely booting up for some reason.

Best and have a great day,

Hi Lonnie,

instead of "make qemu" one can also do "make efiimage" to generate an
(U)EFI image. Please do "make help" to see the other options available.
