    QEMU

    how can i boot my kernel .bin file with QEMU?

    i tried
    Code:
    qemu-img convert /boot/myKernel.bin -f cow myKernel.img
    which worked, but then when i tried
    Code:
    qemu -dummy-net myKernel.img
    but that doesn't do anything. i also tried
    Code:
    qemu -dummy-net -nographic xbos.img
    that freezes the konsole.

    is it possible to compile my kernal as a disk image or do i have to convert it somehow?
    note: i'm not trying to boot a linux kernel, its a kernel that i'm making myself

    I did a Google search on qemu.
    I am not going to pretend to understand this this subject. Acc ording to this link, only certain OS's are supported.

    http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/

    Check the FAQ on that site.

    Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

    This site will probably be of help.

    i figure that since it is an emulator, and all it does is execute the machine code, it should be able to work with most OSes, especially a tiny kernel like mine, which all it does right now is write to the screen...

    Maybe you should try pure bochs instead?

    Did you try that QEMU forum link I gave you?
    It seems they would be more knowledgeable about QEMU and your problem than us.
