And i cant find out why this is getting annoying

Oh, and all i’m trying to do is change the splash to this (convert to bmp or whatever because I can’t upload bmp)

bios splash

assuming you are building using the build-uefi.sh script, if there is a failure type V=1 make to build with verbose mode enabled and it should be obvious where the failure is

4

I don’t understand assembly, or what this issue is.. (build log too big so i put it on my site)
