| + | Cleaned the decoder code and fixed an memcpy issue which I suspect came from the fact that the source and destination fields were overlapping. Note to self: also try memmove. This still needs some work, but I am anxious to get to the Xen part and make it work, so I'll start working on that tomorrow. | ||

| + | Today I wanted to create a basic Xen setup so I started browsing the Internet for information. After finding several sites I set out to compile the hypervisor from source and found some pre-built dom0 images. At first I struggled with getting the GRUB 2 menu entries correct since there have been some changes since GRUB legacy. Some of these changes affect multiboot images (such as Xen), so I should keep this in mind when I end up making changes. Eventuall I got to a point where the hypervisor booted, but the dom0 kernel had problems in finding the root partition. I'll dig into this tomorrow. | ||

| + | I fixed yesterday's root partition issue by getting a new kernel and generating a new initrd. It booted, but unfortunately the keyboard does not work X| Teh horror. | ||
