[PATCH 2/6] ppc/pegasos2: Warn when using VOF but no kernel is specified
Posted by BALATON Zoltan 4 years, 3 months ago
Issue a warning when using VOF (which is the default) but no -kernel
option given to let users know that it will likely fail as the guest
has nothing to run. It is not a hard error because it may still be
useful to start the machine without further options for testing or
inspecting it from monitor without actually booting it.
