x86 Genode missing modules

I have built Genode with the Nova microkernel and am able to get my grub2
to boot to the build, however it appears that there are two modules missing
from the compile I was able to build - bootloader and pci_drv. Without
these modules, the hypervisor boots but gets hung at displaying the
processor information, never a command prompt. Is there something in the
compile I need to set to get these two modules to compile with the rest of
Genode?

Which run script are you using? Unless you are using one of the noux
scripts, you shouldn't expect a command prompt.

Mobile security can be enabling, not merely restricting. Employees who
bring their own devices (BYOD) to work are irked by the imposition of MDM
restrictions. Mobile Device Manager Plus allows you to control only the
apps on BYO-devices by containerizing them, leaving personal data
untouched!

Which Genode version do you using ? "pci_drv" is obsolete and not used
anymore since some releases. Which "run" script did you use or do you
just manually setup some scenario ?

"bootloader" is no module used by Genode/Nova - where do you get this from ?

Genode/Nova will make no output to the screen (beside the initial kernel
messages), unless you use some graphical scenario (like Nobody III
already hinted). For non graphical Genode/Nova scenarios you will have
to connect a serial/UART cable to the target machine to get some output.

Cheers,

Alex.

I was working off an older grub file and both of these modules were
included. If they are no longer required, I will remove them from the
grub2 file. This task I was working on was to get a successul boot of x86
on Genode with the Nova microkernel and from what you describe, I have done
exactly that.

Thanks for the info!
