bochs failure on make emulate on Ubuntu 14.10

[John McDermott]

Muen Developers,

Trying to get "make emulate" to run, to convince my management that they should let me work on Muen. Any suggestions would be appreciated. (Good documentation by the way.)

I'd like to get the Ubuntu 14.10 version working and not worry about the other, but I do mention it so the community will know there is an issue with 14.04 and bochs 2.6.7 from source.

1. Tried to build and run on Ubuntu 14.04:
a. image created by plain old "make" builds and boots
b. build and install bochs 2.6.7 from source
c. "make emulate" never launches, with what looks like a bochs cpuid instruction error.

2. Switch to newer hardware running Ubuntu 14.10, hoping the latest distro bochs will work:
a. "make emulate" never launches, with what looks like a bochs error re the number of cpus.

3. I don't know enough to decide if the error is a makefile issue or a bochs configuration issue. Neither attempt produced either an emulate/bochsout.txt or an emulate/serial.out. Both did produce a file emulate/emulate.out . The Ubuntu 14.10 host reports 8 cores:

Could you provide the Bochs log output with the cpuid instruction error?

It seems that this particular Bochs version was not compiled with SMP
support (--enable-smp) which is necessary since we configure Bochs to
emulate a system with four CPUs (see emulate/bochsrc).

[...]

According to the output Bochs version 2.6 (also without SMP support) was
used. Muen requires Bochs with version 2.6.5. It seems that the Bochs
package of Ubuntu 14.10 was not compiled with --enable-smp [1] and is
too old. So I am afraid Muen cannot be emulated on Ubuntu 14.10 out of
the box.

Using Bochs built from source with the compilation flags specified at
[2] should provide you with a working Muen demo system. Could you give
it another go on your system and report back the output of the
emulate.out file?

Regards,
Adrian

I just verified that the Muen 'devel' branch works on a fresh Ubuntu
14.10 installation using the latest Bochs release (2.6.7) built from source.

Did you by any chance have multiple Bochs versions installed, e.g. the
Bochs Ubuntu package as well as the binary built from source? If so,
could you please try 'make emulate' again after making sure that the
correct Bochs binary is used, e.g. by setting the PATH environment
variable or (temporarily) removing the Bochs package?

Adrian

Adrian,

Thanks for your help.

The 14.04 did not have multiple Bochs installations. 

As a matter of long experience, I will also re-install 14.10, without Bochs, on the newer hardware, to be sure there is not a trace of the Canonical version remaining, when I try compiling the newer version of Bochs.

The compilation of Bochs on the 14.04 version was with the configure flags as per the directions, with one exception: with all of those exact flags, 2.6.7 would not compile because of some problem with Dockbook and Openjade. So I compiled with all of the flags as directed but also the flag --enable-docbook=no; then everything compiled. I would be surprise if that were the cause of the problem.

The only Bochs log that I can find on the older 14.04 system, the one with the cupid fault, is in the build directory as /home/mc/bochs-2.6/config.log. That's all I found with "locate bochs | grep log". I can send that if that would help or any other file that you know about that I do not. 

Should "make emulate" be run as root? I did not do that.

Sincerely,

John

Adrian,

I am using X forwarding to do most of this, but I don't see that as being the problem either. I did try both the 14.04 and 14.10 platforms directly, to be sure.

Here is the emulate.out from the 14.04 machine with the CPUID issue

Hello John,

It seems that you are using Bochs version 2.6 built from source. Is it
possible that you downloaded an older source release? Could you please
try with the latest version found at [1]? That is the tarball I used
successfully in my test run yesterday. Thanks.

Regards,
Adrian

Adrian,

I already tried to compile the latest 2.6.7 on the 14.04 host and it would not compile, so I dropped back to the stable 2.6. I will try the latest Bochs again.

I have also tried compile from source stable 2.6 on the 14.10 host and make emulate brings up a Bochs window, via X forwarding, on my Macbook Pro Yosemite (woo hoo!), so Muen works with Yosemite ;-). However, there it has a boot failure cannot read boot disk error. I would include that below but XQuartz will not let me copy text from the Bochs window. 

Here is emulate/emulate.out from the 14.10 box, using stable 2.6 Bochs:

Adrian,

Thanks for your help. I am making lots of progress.

I was able to build the newer (2.6.7) Bochs on the 14.10 host. When I run "make emulate" I get the same error: a nice Bochs window forwards over X to my desktop, but it hangs at "no bootable device". I also get the identical error when working directly from the desktop, so it is not a problem with X forwarding. Since this is the same error with both 2.6 and 2.6.7 Bochs, it looks like a problem other than the emulator per se? Maybe some Bochs config file needs to be twiddled? Since I cannot copy from the emulator window, the following is a hand reconstruction of the Bochs window output, which may contain minor typos:

Hello John,

> I was able to build the newer (2.6.7) Bochs on the 14.10 host. When I run "make emulate" I get the same error: a nice Bochs window forwards over X to my desktop, but it hangs at "no bootable device". I also get the identical error when working directly from the desktop, so it is not a problem with X forwarding. Since this is the same error with both 2.6 and 2.6.7 Bochs, it looks like a problem other than the emulator per se? Maybe some Bochs config file needs to be twiddled? Since I cannot copy from the emulator window, the following is a hand reconstruction of the Bochs window output, which may contain minor typos:

Can you go into the emulate directory and rebuild the ISO image like so?

$ cd emulate
$ make clean
$ make

Is an error message output on the command line when creating the ISO?

Also to better understand where the differences are between your
environment and my setup: are you running a 32-bit or 64-bit (x86_64)
version of Ubuntu 14.10?

According to [1] the error code means that the El-Torito boot catalog
specifies a bad platform. So I suspect there is an issue during the
assembly of the ISO image that is used for emulation.

Adrian

Adrian,

I rebuilt the ISO and it gave this output; launched the emulator successfully; but still gives the "bad platform" error.

(Don't be too concerned. I have a gift for breaking things just by touching them. I once broke an NSA security device that had a guest visitor keypad code of "0000". I just typed in 0000 and it froze, with security guards coming out of the woodwork. It's one reason I work in security.)

Can you provide me with the grub version that is installed on your system?

$ grub-mkrescue -V
$ dpkg -l | grep grub

Thanks.

Adrian,

My target host has an MSDOS partition for EFI boot, as in /dev/sda1 mounts as /boot/efi, but the rest of /boot is ext4? I don't understand where the ISO file is located. Would the ISO file be worth posting?

I suspected that you are running an EFI system so I did a quick check on
my Ubuntu 14.10. I can reproduce your error. Can you install the
grub-pc-bin package an try again?

$ sudo apt-get install grub-pc-bin

That should hopefully get you a correct ISO image that is bootable in Bochs.

Adrian

Adrian,

It boots all the way. I see NIC Linux at the top and no output from the terminal.

[John McDermott]

Adrian,

I am seeing VMFAIL and halted CPUs in the tail of the bochsout.txt file.

Sincerely,

John

The VMFAIL Bochs message is expected and does not represent an error. Do
the Linux subjects in the demo system boot to the prompt? Can you switch
between the NIC and USB Linux subject using the F1 and F2 keys?

The serial.out file provides additional debug information for the
running system. If the kernel encounters an issue it will be logged to
this file.

Regards,
Adrian

[John McDermott]

Adrian,

I have no prompt, just a blank screen without even a cursor. I can switch between the NIC and USB Linux, in the sense that pressing F1 and F2 changes the display bar at the top of the window. No other keyboard key produces any effect. File serial.out has this, which looks like the response to keys F1 and F2:

mc@host:~/nrl-muen/muen/emulate$ tail serial.out
0001|Switching to VT 02
---
0001|Switching to VT 01
---
0001|Switching to VT 02
---
0001|Switching to VT 01
---
0001|Switching to VT 02

I will poke around some more, just to learn what I can.

Muen Developers,

Just an FYI on the thread: after upgrading all packages on the Ubuntu 14.04 host, the older one with BIOS boot firmware, I was able to get make emulate to work as advertised, using Bochs 2.6.7 compiled from source. I noticed that the Bochs tarball that I used the first time, the one that would not compile on my Ubuntu 14.04, was not the same tarball that Adrian pointed me to. Not sure why, but the tarball from his link does compile and Muen runs just fine.

Sincerely,

John

Thanks for reporting your success. We will tweak the documentation and
add grub-pc-bin to the list of packages to install.
