Hello,

After I set the framebuffer flag to n, compilation fails for IA32 due to
undefined references in both arch/ia32/src/boot/multiboot.o and
genarch/src/multiboot/multiboot2.o. It can't seem to find the framebuffer
properties bfb_addr, bfb_width, all the way to bfb_blue_size. Here's a
complete log: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/f6e38648612d56b21290

Looked into multiboot2_info_parse, but I'm not sure why this is happening.

Any thoughts on this?


Thanks,
Ana
