Description

People new to LinuxBIOS would surely appreciate ready-made, downloadable QEMU images they can use to test LinuxBIOS without having to modify their hardware. We should provide images with various payloads, and for various architectures (QEMU supports more than just x86).

They'd just download the image, put it in their $HOME, and run something like

qemu -L ~ -hda disk.img -nographic

Yes, there is the QEMU Build Tutorial, but many people are probably not willing to do all those steps just for a quick test. Ready-made QEMU images could lead to more people trying out LinuxBIOS.

Some such images are available with FILO payload at http://qa.linuxbios.org/overview.php

We need the whole thing with other payloads as well.

Changed 9 months ago by uwe

  • owner changed from somebody to uwe
  • status changed from new to assigned
  • version v2 deleted

Partly done, see http://www.coreboot.org/QEMU#Ready-made_QEMU_images.

When we have a few more QEMU images on that page (with FILO, Linux, GRUB2, etc) we can close this issue.
