Linux Bootloader And Other Bios?
« Reply #1 on: November 15, 2002, 04:51:00 PM »
Ok, here goes..  the "bootloader" theory might not work for the XBOX Debug kernel because at the time the Kernel Loads it gets its initialization data from Flash in the Kernel Init sections..  so if you load a "Dynamic" Debug Kernel into Ram and jump to it you will still face the issue of the kernel would load the wrong init data from the flash..

it works for Linux, since their kernel does not load the init data from flash..

now i dont know if the kernel loads the init data from flash right at the get-go or maybe just when u warm reset.. that would be ok and you could work around it..

We are working on this, but have other more important stuff to focus on right now.
