[EXTERNAL] Re: running pc686 samples on QEMU on RTEMS 5.1?

[Cudmore, Alan P. (GSFC-5820)]

Hi Karel,
Your suggested options fixed it! Our next release should be compatible with RTEMS 5.1.
The documentation is great too.. As a long time RTEMS user, I often fail to check the docs first!
Thanks,
Alan

    ^ don't do that. Last time I've checked this option was buggy, e.g.
    reset BSP happen instantly.

    ^ do you need to do that? It's decided on runtime.

    ^ this option is long gone, hence without any effect, you can remove it.

    ^ no needed as you are using their default values.

    ^ this looks fine, you can also try -append "--video=off
    --console=/dev/com1" -- which would basically mean what you used to use
    in 4.x with those BSP compile time options above. E.g. console on COM1.

    But to have it working, you need to IIRC! remove disabling of VGA.
