Package: bochsbios Version: 2.8+dfsg-1 Severity: important X-Debbugs-Cc: j.arunm...@proton.me
The default BIOS-bochs-latest image shipped with Debian seems to be buggy. To reproduce: Try running Bochs with the pre-installed disk images, like this one - https://bochs.sourceforge.io/guestos/linux-img.tar.gz. When you do: bochs -f bochsrc and then press C, this is seen on screen: bx_dbg_read_linear: physical memory read error (phy=0x0000322f3130, lin=0x00000000322f3130) To fix it, if we use the BIOS-bochs-legacy image, then it works fine. Or if we use the BIOS-bochs-latest image found in the upstream's RPM package, then that also works - https://sourceforge.net/projects/bochs/files/bochs/2.7/. Encountered this error while trying LittleOS book - https://github.com/OrdoFlammae/littleosbook/discussions/20 Someone else also has faced the issue - https://askubuntu.com/questions/1521719/bochs-cant-access-bootloader-address-0x7c00-error-physical-memory-read-error Sorry if it is duplicate. Happy to help by providing more details. -- System Information: Debian Release: trixie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.10.9-amd64 (SMP w/12 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_IN.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_IN.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_IN:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled -- no debconf information
