I made a easyos.iso, it can boot on virtualbox.
I can not test it on real machine, because my notebook has not cdrom.

If you copy my easyos folder to a disk partition, it can boot without UUID in the limine.cfg, I cracked the initrd.
You can boot it like this:

Code: Select all

:easyos.cd
    PROTOCOL=linux
    KERNEL_PATH=boot:///easyos/vmlinuz
    MODULE_PATH=boot:///easyos/initrd.new
    KERNEL_CMDLINE=wkg_dir=easyos/

hypervisor? What is it?
I think you want to know why I run easyos on virtualbox.

I want to test it , but I do NOT want to reboot my real computer many many times.

So this is not a multisession .iso? That is, it can't save to a file on the CD?

I don't want to save anything. It is a livecd for me.

I cracked the file initrd. Now it is "initrd.new".

@Thanos

I just tried to download your iso image to test in qemu, but it doesn't download. There's some error msg in simplified Chinese, but Google cannot translate this.

Any idea?

I tested it on virtualbox not qemu. Maybe it can't work in qemu.

I will upload a new version to another place, wait please.

Okey thanks, but I think in qemu you can just replace .img with .raw, then if you like convert to .qcow2, or .vdi or .vmdk, ... No really need for an .iso file. Anyway, nice to have :-)
