Still very slow and glitchy output. I guess that every pixel write causes a VM exit or similar.

Probably still not the best approach. What I've seen, what other bootloaders do, is:

  • Use GOP Blts for data transfer to the framebuffer.
  • Implement the scrolling with ptr copy instead of having a write buffer.

The Redox Bootloader seems to be a good reference in that regard.

Looks great! I'll look into the Redox Bootloader when I get the chance :-)
