Thanks for the fast response as always! Sorry, but I have to respin this patch due to I've found 3 typos (REAME.x86, aginst, u-boot-dtb.in) myself this morning. I must have had my brain cells tired last night :-<
What method are you using to boot a kernel? I'm wondering how we document use cases like booting Ubuntu, booting from different boot devices, etc. Mostly this is zImage but we could link to x86-fit-boot.txt also.
I am using zboot to boot a kernel bzImage with initramfs and nfs mounted as root. I have not tried to boot any distro out there.
There is a syslinux approach used by many ARM boards now - e.g. see rpi.h which includes config_distro_defaults.h. Should we enable this for x86 too?
I will have a look. If we consider supporting syslinux, how about other bootloaders like grub?
Could do, I'm not sure how to run it, but I suppose it's not that hard.
Regards, Simon
