I suppose you download and test a floppy image of MinirighiOS.

afaik it consists of a kinda monolithic kernel which has the ability of loading modules and a set of user level programs to perform common tasks like change work dir, list dir contents, lost processes etc....

Check it out, hm?

Hi,

Just muking around with bochs and have it running with bochsrc below will run but fails on hard drive setup (not major)

==========================================
# Memory
megs: 256

# ROM images
romimage: file=$BXSHARE/BIOS-bochs-latest, address=0xf0000
vgaromimage: $BXSHARE/VGABIOS-elpin-2.40

# disk image
floppya: 1_44=minirighi-floppy.img, status=inserted

ata0: enabled=0

# boot disk.
boot: a

#disable mouse
mouse: enabled=0
==========================================

OS seems to fail on <ls> once you have changed directory (just locks up) also some make errors if compiling from source but the floppy image will run.

bye
pkd.

This is a known problem. If you change the virtual machine (i.e. VMWare) or try it on a real machine the OS doesn't freeze. This is due to the floppy driver (if I remember well I resolved this problem with bochs setting a high delay in floppy reads, but I don't remember exactly how I did that...)

Anyway, disabling the caching mechanisms in the floppy driver should be a very _bad_ solution to run Minirighi on Bochs... In the past I did not spent time to do this, because this problem seems to be only under Bochs... and I forgot this... In this days I will try to find some time to make a special patch for bochs... so, thanks for reporting the bug...
