CosmosOS
Won’t boot on old computers
So older devices like the thinkpad 570 from ibm and like 90s stuff used it boot into cosmos with vs-2010 versions but now with the latest version of cosmos it just hangs at the blinking underscore.
I am having the issue with the user kit and vs 2022
Are you using devkit or userkit? (please give more info when making an issue)
Does the 'welcome to grub' text appear or is it just black screen when trying to boot?
Blank, after about 10mins it said no operating system found then restarted to the IBM logo. I have this issue with many different 90s computers.
Bit like trying to boot off a blank cd. The files are on the main partition on my hdd so I won't be a cd error
the devkit uses limine, but that's more modern so it might not work either, grub is really old actually (made since 1995) an older version could work
Can I just change the files for grub or do I need to reconfigure my bin file

You cant. But what you can do instead is replace the bootloader injection command i think it's in a file called MakeIso.cs or something, but if not, then look for it Cosmos.Build.Tasks somewhere.
Blackneeed - 2024
I tried to run it on my old gateway GP6-490 and it shows the cosmos splash screen (I think the bootloader) then it "loads" but the screen is black. Could be because it is trying to use gui

If only the files are on your main partition, it could explain why its not working. you see, GRUB is stored on the MBR, its not a file you can copy from the ISO. you could either burn the ISO into a CD or somehow install the bootloader into your HDD
I wrote a custom boot loader, that worked perfectly but I just don't understand why Grub dosent like it.
try switching to devkit. Also remember that propably only VGA is going to work (its pain)
I don’t like the dev kit gui or script system. But I’ll try it
