I've had some difficulties with TianoCore (really, I've had difficulties with it all along), but in spite of that, I'm now testing the loading and booting of the kernel. Specifically, I am attempting to do root-cause diagnosis of the kernel panics that occur when booting. I think this will lead to the clearest picture of what to do about non-contiguous kernel issue. However, a more pressing issue is arranging what I need to keep going after the end of GSoC. I'd like to retain wiki access at the least, and to create a page about the project. I'm not certain if subversion access is feasible, or if that was just a SoC thing, but it would certainly be handy. In any case, I would like to set up what I need to keep moving on the EFI work.
