Linux kernel config only enables Ethernet drivers relevant to qemu, breaking bare-metal bootstrap

Open Googulator opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

The included config file for the Linux kernel only enables the e1000 and e1000e Ethernet drivers. These are what qemu emulates, but they are relatively rare on real hardware. This makes it almost impossible to complete a bare-metal bootstrap, unless you happen to have just the right Ethernet chipset.
