"Don't reinvent the wheel" - Some idiot, probably
For-fun operating system created by me!
You will need to acquire a copy of x86_64-elf-gcc. This can be done by either
compiling it yourself, or through your distribution's package manager. A version
of x86_64-elf-gcc is available in the AUR that I maintain.
You will need to deploy limine onto a filesystem image, the limine barebones project will suffice for creating this. In addition, you must also have an ext2 filesystem image.
NOTE: For versions of limine >=5.x, multiple images must be used. Limine will no longer accept ext2 filesystems for booting kernel images, and this OS as of yet only supports ext2.
Be sure to set SERIAL=yes at the top of your limine.cfg as well as the
KERNEL_CMDLINE= parameter root= as your root filesystem (not necessarily
the boot filesystem). Booting without the root= parameter will cause a panic
giving you a list of available block devices to mount. Only ext2 is supported
for mounting filesystems.
If you wish to use a partition scheme, it must be GPT. If not, mounting the bare block device should (probably) work fine.
