What exactly is PVH booting?

Post by Bleksak »

Hi, I tried installing qemu on windows and running my kernel on it, however I got the following message:

Code: Select all

qemu-system-i386: Error loading uncompressed kernel without PVH ELF Note
I found a solution to this by adding -machine type=pc-i440fx-3.1 to qemu launch options, but I am now wondering, what exactly is the PVH ELF Note, how to implement it, and what changed so drastically since 1440fx-3.1 and 1440fx-4.0 that makes me unable to boot the kernel with the -kernel option?
