boot partition nopt found

[zmmaj]

Hm... I have a problem... After grub menu I got
Error: Boot partition not found/present
I was compile OS via make CactusOS.iso
AND.. I haven't support for edid. but that is minor problem. Bigger problem is that I can not start OS from qemu.
last is
[798] (Error) Boot partition is not found/present
Got page Fault etc.. see picture below

Hello zmmaj,

What are your arguments for qemu when running the OS? I haven't worked on it since a while but this should not happen on normal conditions.

Well, first I was follow site instructions...
eg, make qemu... everything OK, qemu start and I got same error
Than make CactusOS.iso , Than i was try to start .ISO in several ways... even on Virtual box.. same error
Than I see similar problem here on issues, than I try to start qemy as you wrote there
qemu-system-i386 -cdrom CactusOS.iso -serial stdio -boot d -device VGA,edid=on,xres=1024,yres=768
well I have not EDID support, so I remove that and got
qemu-system-i386 -cdrom CactusOS.iso -serial stdio -boot d -device VGA
same error...
now, you have 3 menu buttons on grub..
first option stops earlier than second...
seccond option stops as you see on picture above
third option do not stop with error, but do nothing... simple wait for something.
Yes..
I was try to break grub, go in command line..
I was start CactusOs.bin manually and.. same error...
just to mention... every 'make' compilation ( bin, Iso, qemu) finish without errors.

What version of qemu and which OS are you using? I tried the same on my computer and it booted just fine, please let me know!
By the way, the 3rd option is pure for debugging so that is not needed for normal booting.

QEMU emulator version 6.2.0 (Debian 1:6.2+dfsg-2ubuntu6.4)
on Ubuntu 22.04 with latest updates

Apparently I was using a very outdated version of QEMU but after updating the operating system still executed like normal. Perhaps you can try to re-compile the OS? It is possible that the iso is corrupted somehow, otherwise I can upload my version (of the iso file) for you to test.
