02:50 <xypron> If we want to push to Gitlab without triggering a pipeline we can use 'git push -o ci.skip'. I guess we should add that to our developer documentation.

16:27 <rah> (how) can I chainload u-boot using Linux kexec?

16:56 <kettenis> rah: generally you can't

16:57 <kettenis> there is CONFIG_LINUX_KERNEL_IMAGE_HEADER but it is probably a bit more complicated than just building u-boot with that option

17:09 <rah> kettenis: I read that u-boot is multiboot compliant and that kexec and can load any multiboot OS; is u-boot multiboot compliant?

17:09 <rah> or can it be built so?

17:16 <kettenis> dunno; multiboot was a grub concept that never really went anywhere

17:16 <kettenis> looks like u-boot makes an effort to add a multiboot header for x86

17:16 <kettenis> but who uses u-boot on x86 ;)

17:31 <rah> aye, this is for an arm64 machine

23:37 <sjg1_> kettenis: U-Boot has quite good support on x86...there are certainly some users :-)

23:45 <sjg1_> Tartarus: Tested -master on bob (rk3399) and jerry (rk3288) 8be7b4629e8and it seems fine

23:48 <sjg1_> xypron: Have you tried installing Ubuntu 22.04 with U-Boot using bootefi? It gets past Exit Boot Services and then hangs. Is there a special qemu commandline to use?

23:49 <sjg1_> xypron: I am doing: qemu-system-x86_64 -M pc -drive format=raw,file=root.img -bios /tmp/b/qemu-x86_64/u-boot.rom -drive id=disk,file=ubuntu-22.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso,if=none -device ahci,id=ahci -device ide-hd,drive=disk,bus=ahci.0 -m 4096 -serial mon:stdio -smp 4
