Merge to Master

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Brian.

I am on a _very_ tight schedule as is, since I have to go to Boston with a
very packed schedule early Friday morning and I have a report and a homework
for tomorrow plus I have to prepare a demo for Monday.

However, Andreas and I have some 50 kernel boot instructions running using
switched page tables before we get a crash, which is good news. We are now
investigating excactly what causes the crash and next steps will be to
handle this after having identified what goes wrong.

Best,
Christoffer
