I have isodir/boot/grub/grub.cfg, isodir/boot/myos.bin, and used `grub-mkrescue --xorriso=/.../xorriso -o myos.iso isodir
anandn has joined #osdev
<klange>
Oh I do actually see the kernel binary, sorry, but grub itself is missing. I think mkrescue is confused about what build of grub to install - you may need additional grub-related packages.
<heat>
newpy, what grub2 packages do you have installed? + whats your distro
<newpy>
heat, it's a minimal ubuntu docker image
<newpy>
I did `apt install grub-common`
<klange>
That only installs the tools, we'll need grub-pc-bin I think to get the files for mkrescue
<clever>
another is to just have a blob that the bios loads into ram, and jumps into, and its your job to deal with the cdrom from there
<klange>
newpy: Did you install that grub-pc-bin package?
<clever>
gog: oh yeah, and uefi is a recent addition
<newpy>
klange, oh forgot
pretty_dumm_guy has joined #osdev
<newpy>
klange, that worked
<klange>
\o/
<newpy>
qemu loaded grub, I selected myos, and it printed the welcome
<newpy>
could you explain what exactly I just did though? :D
<klange>
Grub's tools are not meant for what we use them for, hence why that tool is called 'mkrescue' - it's not for making bootable CDs from scratch, it's for building a rescue CD for the current running system.
<klange>
Your Docker image doesn't _have_ grub, so it doesn't know what the heck to put on such a CD.
<klange>
grub-pc-bin contains the files that would be installed for a normal BIOS installation of GRUB. There's another package for EFI installations.
<newpy>
ah ok
<newpy>
so it was reporting success b/c what we're doing is out of spec and it was just doing the bestit could
<klange>
grub-mkrescue is basically a overgrown shell script rewritten in C
<newpy>
thought maybe it would print an error if there were missing files
<klange>
That goes back to your Docker image not having grub. grub-mkrescue looked at the existing grub config, found that it did nothing, and so it successfully duplicated that.
<heat>
why are you giving it a xorriso
<newpy>
ooohhh I see
<newpy>
it literally looks at the current OS's grub
<heat>
why are you doing this in a container
<heat>
weren't you using WSL
<newpy>
heat, yea I am in WSL
<newpy>
I use this env for school, can't afford to break it right now
<newpy>
hence a container
<heat>
you're not breaking anything
<klange>
Were you doing anything else, I would agree with heat's line of questioning, but this is grub stuff...
<heat>
WSL doesn't use grub
<heat>
it uses nothing, just hypervisor magic
<newpy>
fair enough, but I don't know what might break stuff and what wouldn't
<newpy>
prof is really strict on extensions, he'd just fail me
<clever>
`I use this env for school`, newpy: and thats why i use nix, so every env is isolated, and they cant break eachother, while also fixing everything with docker
<newpy>
Honestly I might just get another rig so I can have a "clean" school env
<clever>
meant to quote the `can't afford to break it right now` half, oops
<klange>
Alternatively, you know you can set up multiple WSL environments...
<newpy>
klange, is that better than just using docker containers?
<heat>
it's cleaner
<newpy>
ah I see
<newpy>
I'll set that up tomorrow
<heat>
you're not doing lightweight virtualization on top of virtualization
<newpy>
true
<newpy>
although I'm using docker desktop on windows which is somehow integrated with WSL
<heat>
oh doesn't docker on windows use virtualization?
<newpy>
when I installed it said it had WSL2 integration
<newpy>
but I'm not sure what it's actually doing
<clever>
last i heard, it was just linux docker in a virtual machine
<heat>
yes it might use a separate wsl vm
<clever>
but WSL2 is pretty much a linux virtual machine
<clever>
so they may be piggy-backing off that

Hello, we try on GRU (this not GNU, but GRU) the new OS : ORION
<jason1234>
- what was the name of this little kernel - a Clone of LINUX made by 5 persons only, a rewrite in C, and that they have a #channel on freenode/libera with about 10-20 users?
<klange>
That's way too vague. Sortix, maybe?
* kazinsal
. o O ( DEVGRU/Linux )
<jason1234>
yeahhh thanik you !
<jason1234>
i need a little kernel like minix/linux 0.01 <-- (because linus forked minix) for x86 and arm.
<jason1234>
ideally would be from v5 unix with sockets.
<jason1234>
i need an OS for my TOSHIBA 220CS Satellite with 32 MB RAM
<klange>
Linus did not fork Minix.
<sham1>
junon: why are you insisting on WSL2
<sham1>
Err, WSL1
<kazinsal>
I'm quite confused at this because Linux is not a Minix fork, Sortix does not have an ARM port, and V5 Unix was never released outside of Bell Labs
<klange>
That is a very problematic myth that even Tanenbaum has thrown his hat in the ring to eradicate.
<jason1234>
it is said that linus stole code from tannenbaum for x86. no idea. i just quote
<sham1>
What quote
<sham1>
Because that'd be quite the revelation
<jason1234>
that is the TOSHIBA 220CS Satellite with 32 MB RAM - dmesg, https://termbin.com/8s8u <-- I need a smaller OS
<jason1234>
sham1: from a given libera #channel, speaking about os
<kazinsal>
I have a similar archaic box and it runs Windows 95.
<klange>
I want you to know that this is a channel for building your own operating system, not asking for one for your ancient laptop.
<jason1234>
evil evil == Windowz
<sham1>
jason1234: well I"m fairly sure that the #channel is wrong
<sham1>
And since you can't even name it…
<jason1234>
i am not so sure---anyhow... my 32 MB satellite... what can run it well and free code?
<sham1>
FreeDOS?
<jason1234>
netbsd 7 is bit too heavy.
<klange>
This is not an OS recommendation channel or a support channel for old hardware.
<klange>
And Sortix is not at all what you are looking for, it needs something newer than a Pentium and with far more RAM to be usable and is not designed for old machines.
<kazinsal>
Your best bet is to throw that ancient machine out.
<klange>
It belongs in a museum!
<sham1>
Thanks Indy
<sham1>
Although since this is an OS development channel, one could always make their own thing for the Satellite
<zid>
yea if you're here you need to write an OS for it, them's the rules
<jason1234>
sortie: hello, I am looking your webpage. nice nice and nice C code.
<jason1234>
sortie: thank you for your V5 system !
<kazinsal>
Sortix is neither a V5 nor written in C.
<kazinsal>
I'm not sure what you're aiming for here.
<sham1>
Being confused, it seems
<jason1234>
serioulsy? sortix webpage should have : C and C++
<klange>
Sortix is almost entirely C++.
<jason1234>
beurk !!
<klange>
It has nothing to do with V5 anything, it's based on modern POSIX standards.
<jason1234>
C++ is ugly and it is very ugly for a kernel
<junon>
Haha, oh boy
<jason1234>
so next.
<junon>
Let's not start language wars on a sunday morning
<jason1234>
Is there a similar little kernel in C/ASM ?
<kazinsal>
I recommend another channel. This one seems to not be your speed.
<junon>
jason1234: the NT kernel might suit you
<jason1234>
ideally a fork of V5 for i486?
<zid>
MEW IS THE BEST POKEMON
<jason1234>
is NT free today?
<junon>
yeah sure
<junon>
depends on the site you get it from
<junon>
but yeah
<jason1234>
where is the SRC code ?
<kazinsal>
junon: We have already determined this one is a Certified OS Bigot as well as a Certified Language Bigot, so NT is right out
<klange>
You seem to very confused about a great many things.
<junon>
but NT is written in C
<jason1234>
isnt there a PORT or FORK of Unix V5 for i486 CPU old notebooks?
<bslsk05>
onein528/NT5.1 - Windows NT 5.0 kernel source code. (is fork /2 forks/0 stargazers)
<junon>
very popular, used by millions, written in C and assembly
<junon>
sounds perfect for you
<junon>
ignore the "windows"
<jason1234>
really?
<kazinsal>
If anyone's lawyers ask, I didn't see that link
<junon>
yeah sure jason1234
<jason1234>
maybe for this ->> that is the TOSHIBA 220CS Satellite with 32 MB RAM - dmesg, https://termbin.com/8s8u <-- I need a smaller OS
<junon>
though that's in the #nt5.0 channel, you should /part and head on over there
<kazinsal>
You need another channel
<klange>
We are not a support channel for old computers. Please go somewhere else.

Luckily there are some unrestricted bands but you have power limits in them etc

<kazinsal>
Can't just start blasting 10 kilowatts of k-pop on the ATC bands

FCC stuff is the main reason for all the fw blobs isn't it?

they need them not to be software configurable radios

which means hardcoding a bunch of stuff

Sorta, yeah. SDRs exist and you can get them but they're almost always RX only
<kazinsal>
I have one and I'm pretty sure it literally does not have TX functionality

so if you're allowed to set up various PLLs or whatever to select a band you could.. program them out of legality, so they just give you an ioctl and the fw does it

I have a hungry but nothing looks interesting.. or doesn't require cooking
<moon-child>
what's wrong with cooking?
<zid>
I'm also lazy
<zid>
as well as hungry
<GeDaMo>
Toast
<zid>
requires cooking, and requires nicer bread than I have tbh
<zid>
they were out of the nice stuff
<gog>
i had a bacon egg sandwich
<zid>
jello
* gog
passes zid a lox and shmear bagel
<zid>
I have no idea what those words are is this a trick
<Mutabah>
I keep a stock of "emergency noodles" (instant noodle cakes with flavour saches), good for quick and lazy meals
* moon-child
also does not know what a shmear is
<gog>
it's smoked salmon and cream cheese
<gog>
best kind of bagel topping imo
<zid>
I had noodles for breakfast :p
<moon-child>
gog: gotta add onyo
<gog>
moon-child: onion is critical
<moon-child>
and tomato
<gog>
yes
<moon-child>
and those little pickle-ish things--I don't remember what they're called
<moon-child>
chives, maybe?
<zid>
What I want is like.. pizza
<gog>
capers
<moon-child>
yeah those
<zid>
or a big mac
<gog>
a classic bagel

now I want a bagel

is the bagel babe
<GeDaMo>
A pizza is just bread with stuff on top, right? :P
<gog>
yes
<zid>
if my pizza has a hole in it I'm sending it back
<bauen1>
keeping a can of "good enough to eat" instant meal around is a good idea ; especially if you manage to forget that certain days are holidays and you end up standing in front of a closed supermarket
<gog>
we keep good bread and pb & j in the house for quick brekkies
<sham1>
zid: you could try ordering
<zid>
at 1pm on a sunday?
<sham1>
Yes
<zid>
that.. is not going to work
<zid>
oh shit I know what I want, battered sausage
<zid>
hrng
<j`ey>
sounds painful
<GeDaMo>
Only if you're the sausage :P

batters zid's sausage

Anyways that operative joining asking about an OS for their 32 MB laptop sent me on a big sidequest today
<gog>
what did you find?
<sortie>
Anyways fixing a silly but nasty kernel linking bug, I reduced my minimum memory usage requirements for i686 from 129 MiB to 32 MiB
<gog>
nice
<sortie>
Basically the .init section had gotten linked at 128 MiB which meant GRUB failed to load the kernel on machines smaller than that, despite it not being used, whoops

Without a graphical login screen, an installation of my OS can boot in 20 MiB. 24-32 MiB is kinda needed for it to be functional. If I disable the framebuffer and use the vga text mode, it can boot in 17 MiB.
<sortie>
(Of course you'll need more memory for whatever you want to DO with my OS)
<gog>
32MiB should be enough for anybody
<vdamewood>
I'm building a computer that only has 16MiB of address space.
<vdamewood>
And I might ony use 128k of that.
<GeDaMo>
Pfft! Who needs more than 64K? :P

GeDaMo: Well, 32k of RAM, 32k of ROM, and a few extra bits for I/O.
<gog>
the only I/O you need is a teletype

gog: But how will i activate the fish dispenser?
<gog>
hmm good point
<gog>
you need at least two serial ports then
<bauen1>
vdamewood: you can display a prompt to the user, telling the user to activate the fish dispenser

furthermore i thought you were the fish dispenser

They did have to patch out enabling SSE, turns out I don't hard require it after all (if it's not enabled)

yah re: physical load address i think the safest is 16MB
<geist>
it avoids any lower ISA/EISA holes, and is generally free of EFI stuff

geist: Is that Re: what I was talking about?
<geist>
well, sortie was saying a while ago that they moved the load address of the kernel so it'd run on lower ram
<zid>
1MB for life
<geist>
i was generally commenting that a good load address for x86 kernels is 16MB since it's the first real absolutely guaranteed free run
<geist>
though yeah 1MB is usually free too
<geist>
i think with zircon we've seen some hazards down there where EFI systems dont always clear it ou
<zid>
low addresses on x86 are a nightmare mess
<geist>
we've had to fiddle a bit with load addresses, and the ultimate solution which is nearly ready is to just make the kernel physically relocatable
<sortie>
geist: Oh right I use 1 MiB
<sortie>
geist, the problem was that I had a stray section that wasn't linked properly and the linker happened to put those 15 bytes at 128 MiB
<geist>
ah yeah
<sham1>
Don't use anything below 16 MiB unless absolutely necessary (ISA DMA, AP trampoline for SMP purposes). Just let it be after you've loaded your kernel (above the 16 MiB hole one would hope)
<sham1>
A machine where you can't put the kernel and such onto over 16 MiB is probably not worth using
<clever>
what was it about dos himem that made it so complicated to configure?
<zid>
If your computer can't fit a few hundred k at 1MB it's broken sorry
