"Not found" on loading kernel: no idea what error is

Open austanss opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

I have no idea what the error is because the bootloader isn't verbose enough.

Anyway, this is what my error looks like: image

EDIT: It appears that when I compile with -fPIE, TomatBoot doesn't load the executable.

UPDATE: It appears that TomatBoot doesn't support PIEs. Why is this? It's a major PITA as position-independence is an objective here.

Right now tomatboot doesn't support pic/pie binaries because we don't handle elf relocations, I am working on a refactor they does support it but it is not ready yet, I hope this weekend I will get it into a state where I can switch the refactor to master
