All the events we care about should have interrupts associated with them, except possibly the serial console. Try to deal with the serial console by waiting some time before going into HLT, and giving the user the option of enabling the serial console interrupt, on the assumption that the BIOS will simply IRET.

core: merge the startup code for disk-based derivatives 2009-04-19T22:35:02+00:00 H.

There is probably still additional shared code that should be merged, but this is a good start. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

core: move vgafontbuf out of the zero segment 2009-04-13T22:39:04+00:00 H. Peter Anvin hpa@linux.intel.com 2009-04-13T22:39:04+00:00 3a1bc74b6c26b55a52459d9748375bf3aa15db37 vgafontbuf is one of the largest (bss) structures in the zero segment, together with the trackbuf (which we realistically can't move.) Create a new "auxilliary segment" for fixed-sized data which needs to be in the low megabyte, but not necessarily in the zero segment. This pushes up the low memory usage, but only by 8K.

SYSLINUX: fix handling of .bss files for FAT12/FAT16 2009-03-16T23:16:39+00:00 H.

We should only copy the relevant portions of the superblock over. Technically speaking, it is possible for FAT12/FAT16 to have an older, smaller superblock as well (without the 0x29 boot signature); we don't handle that at the moment.
