[SOLVED] How to skip "Checking 'hlt' instruction" ?
« on: April 28, 2011, 05:21:44 PM »
Is there a kernel / module boot option to skip "Checking 'hlt' instruction... OK." step ?
I am booting TC 3.3 on a software simulator, and it's hanging at this point (simulator issue, probably an interrupt is not coming to wake the CPU out of HLT...)

For boot options see FAQ, especially link to kernel docs.
Otherwise you might have to look into kernel config options (compile time).

Thank you for the fast reply - found the kernel parameter: "no-hlt"

no-hlt     [BUGS=X86-32] Tells the kernel that the hlt instruction doesn't work correctly and not to use it.

Out of curiosity, which simulator?
