SATA drives can now be used with banan-os. This allows much faster
disk access (writing 10 MiB from 30s to 1.5s). This can definitely
be optimized but the main slow down is probably the whole disk
structure in the os.
AHCI drive is now the default when running qemu.
I change always manually the serial/graphical. When running cmake
you can define variable QEMU_ACCEL that will be used as accelerator.
Also ninja has the following targets for running qemu
1. qemu: Run graphical qemu environment
2. qemu-nographic: Run qemu without graphical screen. You should
select 'serial only' from grub menu.
3. qemu-debug: Run qemu without accelerator and interrupt
debugger.
I have been annoyed for a while since I had to build everything
when running the os since the buildsystem was really bad.
I wanted to rewrite the whole build system and changed to using cmake
:)
We don't use grub-mkrescue anymore. Instead we build the disk image
manually. This allows us to have known disk layout for easier testing
when I get to implementing disk reading. For now I made the root
partition ext2 since I think that will be the first format that I'll
implement.
