# ACPI Fixes — P0 Phase Tracker
> **Numbering note:** "P0" refers to the historical hardware-enablement phase (ACPI boot),
> not the v2.0 desktop plan phases in `local/docs/CONSOLE-TO-KDE-DESKTOP-PLAN.md`.
Status of ACPI fixes for AMD bare metal boot. Cross-referenced with
`HARDWARE.md` crash reports and kernel/acpid source TODOs.
This file is the **historical P0 bring-up ledger**. The forward-looking ownership, robustness, and
validation plan now lives in `local/docs/ACPI-IMPROVEMENT-PLAN.md`.
P0 ACPI boot-baseline work is **materially complete for the historical boot goal**. It should not
be read as release-grade ACPI completeness; ownership cleanup, sleep-state support, and bounded
bare-metal validation still remain open. Kernel patch is 574 lines, base/acpid patch is 558 lines.
Where this historical ledger differs from the current source tree, prefer
`local/docs/ACPI-IMPROVEMENT-PLAN.md`. In particular, do **not** read older references here to
typed `acpid` startup hardening as proof that current-tree boot-path hardening is already complete.
Do **not** use this file as the current boot-wiring authority either: initfs lifecycle, `hwd`
`acpid` ad hoc spawning, explicit `RSDP_ADDR` forwarding plus x86 BIOS AML fallback, weak legacy
fallback, and provisional `/scheme/acpi/power` semantics are tracked in
`local/docs/ACPI-IMPROVEMENT-PLAN.md`.
## Crash Reports
| Hardware | Symptom | Root Cause | Status |
|----------|---------|------------|--------|
| Framework Laptop 16 (AMD 7040) | Crash on boot | Unimplemented ACPI function (jackpot51/acpi#3) | ✅ Fixed for the historical boot-baseline path (RSDP/SDT checksums, MADT NMI types, FADT parse, related bring-up fixes). `acpid` startup hardening still remains open in the current tree. |
| Lenovo ThinkCentre M83 | `Aml(NoCurrentOp)` panic at acpid acpi.rs:256 | AML interpreter encounters unsupported opcode | Under investigation (upstream AML issue; not resolved by P0 work) |
| HP Compaq nc6120 | Crash after `kernel::acpi` prints APIC info | xAPIC APIC ID read returned raw value, caused page fault on Intel | ✅ Fixed (xAPIC `id()` now shifts `read(0x20) >> 24`) |
## Known Missing ACPI Table Parsers
| Table | Location | Status | Impact |
|-------|----------|--------|--------|
| DSDT (Differentiated System Description Table) | Parsed by `acpi` crate AML interpreter | Working | Platform-specific device config via AML bytecode |
| SSDT (Secondary System Description Table) | Parsed by `acpi` crate AML interpreter | Working | Secondary AML tables (hotplug, etc.) |
| FACP/FADT | ✅ Full parse in acpid | ✅ Done | PM registers, reset register, sleep states, `\_S5` |
| IVRS (AMD-Vi IOMMU) | Removed from acpid stub path | Handled by `iommu` daemon path | ACPI-side broken stub removed; runtime AMD-Vi handling now lives in the separate daemon |
| MCFG (PCI Express config space) | Removed (broken stub) | ✅ Handled by pcid | pcid /config endpoint provides direct PCI config space access |
| DBG2 (Debug port) | Not implemented | Low | Serial debug port discovery |
| BGRT (Boot graphics) | Not implemented | Low | Boot logo preservation |
| FPDT (Firmware perf data) | Not implemented | Low | Boot performance metrics |
IVRS was previously listed as "implemented" but the acpid stub was broken, so it was removed from
acpid. AMD-Vi runtime handling now lives in the separate `iommu` daemon path rather than in acpid.
MCFG is now handled by pcid's /config endpoint (P1 complete) which provides direct PCI config space
access.
## Implemented ACPI Tables
| Table | Kernel | Userspace (acpid) | Notes |
|-------|--------|-------------------|-------|
| RSDP | `acpi/rsdp.rs` | N/A | Signature + checksum validated (ACPI 1.0 + 2.0+ extended) |
| RSDT/XSDT | `acpi/rsdt.rs`, `acpi/xsdt.rs` | N/A | Root table pointer iteration + SDT checksum validation |
| MADT (APIC) | `acpi/madt/` | N/A | xAPIC + x2APIC (type 0x9) + NMI (0x4, 0xA) + address override (0x5) |
| HPET | `acpi/hpet.rs` | N/A | Assumes single HPET |
| DMAR (Intel VT-d) | N/A | `acpi/dmar/` (present, not wired) | DMAR parsing code remains in `dmar/mod.rs` but is not initialized at `acpid` startup. Ownership is still transitional/orphaned from `acpid`, not cleanly transferred to a real Intel runtime owner. Iterator bug fixed, re-enabled, safe on AMD (early return) |
| FADT | N/A | `acpi.rs` | Full: PM1a/b CNT, reset register, `\_S5` sleep types, GenericAddress I/O |
| Power Methods | N/A | `acpi.rs` | `\_PS0`/`\_PS3`/`\_PPC` AML evaluation for device power control |
| SPCR | `acpi/spcr.rs` | N/A | ARM64 serial console |
| GTDT | `acpi/gtdt.rs` | N/A | ARM64 timers |
| Embedded Controller (EC) | N/A | `ec.rs` | Byte-wide and widened accesses (u16/u32/u64) via byte-transaction sequences; timeout on each byte |
| AML Mutexes | N/A | `aml_physmem.rs` | Real tracked state with handle-based acquire/release; not a placeholder |
| Shutdown via `kstop` | `scheme/acpi.rs` registers `/scheme/kernel.acpi/kstop` | `main.rs` opens kstop and subscribes via `RawEventQueue` | Kernel-to-userspace shutdown signal; `redbear-sessiond` listens on kstop for D-Bus `PrepareForShutdown` |
## ACPI MADT Entry Types
All MADT entry types parsed by the kernel. The MADT loop in `x86.rs` dispatches
each type to the appropriate handler.
| Type | Name | Struct | Size | Kernel Action |
|------|------|--------|------|---------------|
| 0x0 | Processor Local APIC | `MadtLocalApic` | 8 bytes | AP boot via SIPI |
| 0x1 | I/O APIC | `MadtIoApic` | 12 bytes | Enumerated |
| 0x2 | Interrupt Source Override | `MadtIntSrcOverride` | 10 bytes | IRQ remapping |
| 0x4 | Local APIC NMI | `MadtLocalApicNmi` | 4 bytes | LVT NMI programming (xAPIC 0x350/0x360) |
| 0x5 | LAPIC Address Override | `MadtLapicAddressOverride` | 10 bytes | Logged (64-bit address) |
| 0x9 | Local x2APIC | `MadtLocalX2Apic` | 16 bytes | AP boot via x2APIC ICR (MSR) |
| 0xA | Local x2APIC NMI | `MadtLocalX2ApicNmi` | 10 bytes | x2APIC LVT NMI MSR (0x835/0x836) |
All structs include compile-time size assertions (`assert!(size_of::<T>() == N)`)
to catch ABI mismatches early.
## Kernel ACPI TODOs

| `madt/mod.rs` | — | ~~SDT checksum validation~~ ✅ Done (warn-only) | ~~P0~~ Done |
## ACPID (Userspace) TODOs — UPSTREAM, NOT AMD-FIRST P0/P1
These are pre-existing upstream acpid issues. They are NOT part of the
AMD-first P0/P1 scope. They exist in mainline Redox acpid and affect all
platforms, not just AMD.
| File | Line | TODO | Priority | Scope | Status |
|------|------|------|----------|-------|--------|
| `acpi.rs` | 266 | Use parsed tables for rest of acpid | Upstream | Mainline acpid improvement | Open |
| `acpi.rs` | 643 | Handle SLP_TYPb for sleep states | Upstream | Mainline power management | Open (known gap) |
| `aml_physmem.rs` | 418,423,428 | Mutex create/acquire/release | Upstream | Mainline AML interpreter | **Partially addressed** — real tracked state implemented, not placeholder |
| `ec.rs` | 193+ (8 occurrences) | Proper error types | Upstream | Mainline EC handler | **Partially addressed** — widened accesses implemented via byte transactions |
| `dmar/mod.rs` | 7 | Move DMAR to separate driver | Upstream | Mainline driver refactor | **Partially addressed** — DMAR module present but not wired into startup; ownership remains transitional/orphaned rather than cleanly moved |
| `main.rs` | — | Startup panic/expect handling | Local | Boot-path hardening | **Open** — active current-tree `acpid` still contains panic/expect startup paths; see Wave 1 in `local/docs/ACPI-IMPROVEMENT-PLAN.md` |
## P0 Fixes Applied
### Kernel ACPI (local/patches/kernel/redox.patch — 574 lines)
| # | Fix | Description |
|---|-----|-------------|
| 1 | xAPIC APIC ID fix | `id()` returns `read(0x20) >> 24` for xAPIC mode (was raw, caused Intel page fault) |
| 2 | x2APIC MADT type 0x9 | `MadtLocalX2Apic` struct + AP boot via ICR with universal startup algorithm |
| 3 | ICR pending wait | Pre/post wrmsr PENDING bit check for x2APIC `set_icr()` |
| 4 | ICR constants | `ICR_INIT_ASSERT (0x4500)`, `ICR_STARTUP (0x4600)` with bit-layout comments |
| 5 | MADT entry length guard | `entry_len < 2` returns None (prevents infinite loop on malformed tables) |
| 6 | RSDP checksum validation | ACPI 1.0 + 2.0+ extended checksum |
| 7 | SDT checksum validation | `validate_checksum()` method + warn-only on failure |
| 8 | CPUID arch split | Separate x86/x86_64 cpuid functions |
| 9 | Memory alignment | `find_free_near_aligned()` with power-of-two assert |
| 10 | Trampoline W+X | Documented limitation (code must be writable + executable during AP init) |
| 11 | MADT type 0x4 (Local APIC NMI) | `MadtLocalApicNmi` struct (4 bytes), compile-time size assertion |
| 12 | MADT type 0x5 (LAPIC Address Override) | `MadtLapicAddressOverride` struct (10 bytes), logged |
| 13 | MADT type 0xA (x2APIC NMI) | `MadtLocalX2ApicNmi` struct (10 bytes), compile-time size assertion |
| 14 | LVT NMI programming | `set_lvt_nmi()` method for xAPIC (0x350/0x360) and x2APIC (0x835/0x836 MSRs) |
| 15 | NMI processing in x86.rs | LocalApicNmi, LocalX2ApicNmi, LapicAddressOverride handling in MADT loop |
| 16 | AP startup timeout | 100M-iteration bounded waits prevent infinite hang |
| 17 | Second SIPI | Universal Startup Algorithm compliance (Intel spec requires two SIPIs) |
### Userspace Acpid (local/patches/base/redox.patch — 558 lines)
| # | Fix | Description |
|---|-----|-------------|
| 1 | DMAR iterator fix | `type_bytes` renamed to `len_bytes` bug fix + `len < 4` guard |
| 2 | DMAR parser/runtime safety fixes | Iterator/length guards were repaired so the DMAR carrier no longer crashes merely by existing; this does **not** mean active `acpid` startup ownership was re-established |
| 3 | DMAR not wired into acpid startup | DMAR module present in `dmar/mod.rs` but not imported or called from `main.rs`; this removes active startup ownership from `acpid`, but does not yet establish a clean Intel runtime owner |
| 4 | FADT shutdown | `acpi_shutdown()` using PM1a/PM1b CNT_BLK writes with `\_S5` sleep types |
| 5 | FADT reboot | `acpi_reboot()` using ACPI reset register via GenericAddress |
| 6 | Keyboard controller fallback | `Pio::<u8>::new(0x64).write(0xFE)` when reset_reg unavailable |
| 7 | Power methods | `evaluate_acpi_method()`, `device_power_on()` (`\_PS0`), `device_power_off()` (`\_PS3`), `device_get_performance()` (`\_PPC`) |
| 8 | GenericAddress rename | `GenericAddressStructure` renamed to `GenericAddress` with `is_empty()`, `write_u8()` |
| 9 | Reboot wiring | `reboot_requested` flag in main.rs, scheme path detection |
| 10 | ivrs/mcfg removed | Broken stub references eliminated (deferred to P2+, handled by pcid) |
| 11 | Historical startup-hardening direction | Earlier patch work attempted `StartupError`-style handling, but active current-tree `acpid` still requires Wave 1 boot-path hardening; do **not** treat startup hardening as complete from this ledger alone |
| 12 | AML mutex real state | `AmlMutexState` with handle-based create/acquire/release; `FxHashMap<Handle, bool>` tracking; poisoned-state recovery |
| 13 | EC widened accesses | `read_bytes`/`write_bytes` implement u16/u32/u64 via per-byte transactions; `ensure_access` bounds-checks against u8 addressable range |
| 14 | kstop shutdown eventing | `main.rs` opens `/scheme/kernel.acpi/kstop` and subscribes via `RawEventQueue`; `redbear-sessiond` reads kstop and emits D-Bus `PrepareForShutdown` signal |

# Bare Metal Validation Log — ACPI and Hardware Evidence
Template for recording bounded bare-metal validation results on AMD and Intel hardware.
Fill one section per test run. Date is ISO 8601.
This file is an **evidence log**, not the canonical source of support language. For current ACPI
status and ownership truth, use `local/docs/ACPI-IMPROVEMENT-PLAN.md`. For hardware-facing support
language, use `HARDWARE.md`.
## How to Test
```bash
# 1. Build the image
./local/scripts/build-redbear.sh redbear-full
# 2. Burn to USB (DANGEROUS — verify target device!)
./local/scripts/test-baremetal.sh --device /dev/sdX
# 3. Boot from USB on target hardware
# 4. Record results below
```
## Serial Console Setup
For boot debugging, connect a serial console before powering on:
- Baud rate: 115200
- Use a USB-to-TTL serial adapter on the motherboard header
- Or use IPMI/BMC serial-over-LAN if available
---
## Test Run Template

- Partial PS/2 keyboard support
- PS/2 mouse broken
- No GPU acceleration (VESA/GOP only)
**Analysis:**
- Boots successfully with xAPIC (Ryzen 1000/2000 uses APIC IDs < 255)
- I2C devices unsupported (touchpad)
- Good candidate for testing P0 patches (verifies no regression on xAPIC systems)

## Phase 7: Kernel RAM Hang Diagnosis ✅ (2026-04-27)
### Discovery
The `redbear-full` harddrive image (4 GiB) boots correctly in QEMU with **2 GiB** of guest RAM,
but **hangs silently with 4 GiB or more** — zero kernel serial output after bootloader loads
kernel and initfs.
### Evidence
| Test | RAM | Result |
|------|-----|--------|
| `redbear-full` nographic | 2 GiB | ✅ Boots: kernel output, init, services, login prompt |
| `redbear-full` nographic | 4 GiB | ❌ Hang: no kernel output, CPU spins in `pause`/`jmp` loop |
| `redbear-mini` nographic | 2 GiB | ✅ Boots normally |
| `redbear-mini` nographic | 4 GiB | ✅ Boots normally |
The kernel and initfs binaries are **identical** between `redbear-full` and `redbear-mini`
(MD5: `bb5402209aefd7d42c3adaca0682b39f` for kernel, same size for initfs). The bootloader
binary is also identical. The only difference is the GPT partition layout (RedoxFS starts at
sector 34816 in full vs 4096 in mini).
QEMU ASM trace (`-d in_asm`) at 4 GiB confirms the kernel executes instructions but **never
reaches** `info!("Redox OS starting...")` — it enters a spin-loop before `serial::init()`
completes. At 2 GiB, the kernel boots normally and produces full serial output.
### Root Cause (Analysis)
The bootloader passes different memory maps to the kernel depending on available RAM. At 2 GiB,
the memory map spans ~0x9000000x7ED3F000 (~2 GiB). At 4 GiB, the map spans a larger range
with different reservation patterns. The kernel's `startup::memory::init()` or early SMP
bring-up code (`arch/x86_shared/start.rs`) likely encounters an overflow, bad page table
mapping, or SMP deadlock on larger memory configurations.
The spin-loop at the end of the ASM trace (`pause` + `jmp` to self) is consistent with a
spinlock wait on a memory location that never gets released — likely SMP bring-up where one
CPU waits for another that never initializes.
### Impact
| Affected | Not affected |
|----------|-------------|
| `redbear-full` with ≥4 GiB RAM | `redbear-mini` (any RAM) |
| nographic mode specifically | `redbear-grub` (any RAM) |
| Real hardware with >2 GiB RAM | All profiles at 2 GiB |
| | `make qemu` default (QEMU_MEM=2048) |
Since `make qemu` defaults to 2048 MiB and all profiles work correctly at that value, **day-to-day
development is not affected**. The bug manifests only when developers manually override RAM or
when testing on real hardware with larger memory configurations.
### Recommended Fix
Add early raw-serial output (`outb` to COM1 port 0x3F8) in `arch/x86_shared/start.rs` **before**
`device::serial::init()` as a canary to confirm serial hardware works. Then add instrumentation
around the memory map processing in `startup::memory::init()` and SMP bring-up to isolate
whether the hang is in memory init, page table setup, or multi-core initialization.

# Red Bear OS — Boot Process Improvement Plan
**Version:** 1.0 — 2026-04-27
**Status:** Active — supersedes ad-hoc boot fixes and replaces historical P0P6 boot notes
**Canonical plans:** `local/docs/CONSOLE-TO-KDE-DESKTOP-PLAN.md` (v2.0), `local/docs/GREETER-LOGIN-IMPLEMENTATION-PLAN.md`
**Diagnosis:** `local/docs/BOOT-PROCESS-ASSESSMENT.md` (Phase 7 kernel RAM hang + ISO organization)
---
## 1. Target Contract
| Profile | Required boot outcome | Current state | Gap |
|---------|----------------------|---------------|-----|
| `redbear-full` | **Graphical Wayland greeter → KDE desktop session** | Text login only; KWin uses virtual backend | Three blockers |
| `redbear-mini` | **Text login** | ✅ Working | None |
| `redbear-grub` | **Text login** | ✅ Working | None |
---
## 2. Current Boot Reality (2026-04-27 Diagnosis)
### What works
- UEFI bootloader → kernel → init phase 1/2/3 → services → text login prompt
- D-Bus system bus, redbear-sessiond (login1), seatd, redbear-authd, redbear-polkit
- redbear-upower, redbear-udisks (read-only)
- Framebuffer via vesad (1280×720), fbcond handoff
- udev-shim, evdevd input stack
- All 37 rootfs units schedule and start
### What does NOT work
1. **No graphical login**`redbear-greeter-compositor` falls back to `kwin_wayland_wrapper --virtual` because `KWIN_DRM_DEVICES` is empty. The Qt6/QML greeter UI never renders.
2. **Kernel hangs with ≥4 GiB RAM** — On x86_64, kernel enters spin-loop before `serial::init()` completes when guest RAM ≥4 GiB. `make qemu` default 2048 MiB is unaffected.
3. **Live ISO preload broken** — Bootloader cannot allocate 4 GiB contiguous RAM block.
---
## 3. Blocker Resolution Plan
### 3.1 Blocker A: Fix kernel 4 GiB RAM hang
**Priority:** P0 — blocks real hardware and any QEMU config with >2 GiB RAM.
**Symptom:** With `-m 4096` (4 GiB guest RAM), the kernel loads but produces zero serial output. CPU trace shows spin-loop (`pause` + `jmp`). With 2 GiB, boots normally.
**Root cause:** Memory map processing or SMP initialization bug in `startup::memory::init()` or `arch/x86_shared/start.rs` when physical memory exceeds ~2 GiB.
**Evidence:** Kernel binary identical between mini and full (MD5 confirmed). Mini boots at 4 GiB, full does not. Bootloader, kernel, and initfs are byte-identical across profiles.
**Files to modify:**
| File | Change | Why |
|------|--------|-----|
| `recipes/core/kernel/source/src/arch/x86_shared/start.rs` | Add raw COM1 `outb` before `serial::init()` as canary | Proves serial hardware works; isolates hang point |
| `recipes/core/kernel/source/src/startup/memory.rs` | Add debug logging around memory region processing | Identify overflow / bad mapping at large memory sizes |
| `recipes/core/kernel/source/src/arch/x86_shared/device/serial.rs` | Ensure COM1 init path is robust for all memory configs | If serial init itself hangs, diagnose why |
**Acceptance criteria:**
- [ ] `make qemu` with `QEMU_MEM=4096` produces `Redox OS starting...` on serial
- [ ] Full init sequence completes (phase 1 → phase 2 → phase 3 → login prompt)
- [ ] Kernel patch generated, wired into `local/patches/kernel/`, and `recipe.toml` updated per durability policy
**Estimated effort:** 24 days (requires kernel debugging with QEMU GDB)
---
### 3.2 Blocker B: Enable DRM/KMS for Wayland compositor
**Priority:** P0 — KWin needs a real DRM device to render the greeter.
**Symptom:** `redbear-greeter-compositor: using virtual KWin backend (set KWIN_DRM_DEVICES to enable DRM)`
**Root cause chain:**
1. `redox-drm` daemon is not being spawned by `pcid-spawner` for the active GPU
2. No `/scheme/drm/card0` device exists
3. `KWIN_DRM_DEVICES` environment variable is not set to the correct path
4. KWin's `--drm` path never activates
**Files to modify:**
| File | Change | Why |
|------|--------|-----|
| `config/redbear-full.toml``20_greeter.service` | Add `KWIN_DRM_DEVICES = "/scheme/drm/card0"` to greeter env | Tells greeter compositor where to find DRM device |
| `config/redbear-device-services.toml` | Verify `/lib/pcid.d/` rules are installed with correct paths and vendor/class match patterns | pcid-spawner needs matching rules to auto-spawn redox-drm |
| `local/recipes/gpu/redox-drm/source/src/main.rs` | Add startup logging (which PCI device matched, driver initialized, scheme registered) | Diagnostic visibility — confirms daemon runs |
| `local/recipes/system/redbear-greeter/source/redbear-greeter-compositor` | Add `KWIN_DRM_DEVICES` awareness and fallback logging | Already partially done — verify env propagation from init service |
**QEMU-specific fix:** The `virtio-vga` device (vendor `0x1AF4`, class `0x0300`) needs a pcid rule. Check if `config/redbear-full.toml`'s `virtio-gpud.toml` matches.
**Acceptance criteria:**
- [ ] `redox-drm` daemon appears in `ps` after boot (or logs "DRM daemon started" in boot log)
- [ ] `/scheme/drm/card0` is accessible from the guest
- [ ] `KWIN_DRM_DEVICES` is set and points to `/scheme/drm/card0`
- [ ] `redbear-greeter-compositor` logs "using DRM KWin backend" instead of "virtual"
- [ ] QEMU VNC framebuffer shows the Qt6/QML greeter UI (not bootloader menu)
**Estimated effort:** 35 days (pcid matching + DRM device node plumbing + env wiring)
---
### 3.3 Blocker C: Wire the Qt6/QML greeter UI
**Priority:** P1 — requires Blocker B resolved first.
**Symptom:** Text login prompt only. The greeter compositor starts but the Qt6/QML UI never renders.
**Root cause chain:**
1. KWin compositor needs a DRM backend to create a Wayland display (→ Blocker B)
2. `redbear-greeterd` starts the compositor, waits for Wayland socket, then launches `redbear-greeter-ui`
3. If compositor uses virtual backend, the greeter UI may still try to connect to a Wayland display that doesn't exist or lacks rendering
4. Qt6 plugin path and QML import path must be correct for the greeter UI to load
**Files to verify/modify:**
| File | Check/Change | Why |
|------|-------------|-----|
| `local/recipes/system/redbear-greeter/source/src/main.rs` | Verify greeterd waits for compositor Wayland socket before launching UI | Race condition if UI starts before compositor is ready |
| `local/recipes/system/redbear-greeter/source/redbear-greeter-compositor` | Verify `WAYLAND_DISPLAY` is exported and matches what the UI expects | UI connects to compositor via this socket |
| `local/recipes/system/redbear-greeter/source/ui/main.cpp` | Add diagnostic logging: "UI started, connecting to compositor..." | Visibility into UI launch |
| `local/recipes/system/redbear-greeter/source/ui/Main.qml` | Verify Qt6 QML imports resolve at runtime | Missing QtQuick/QtWayland imports cause silent failure |
| `local/recipes/system/redbear-greeter/recipe.toml` | Verify Qt plugin, QML, and asset paths in `package.files` | UI binaries need Qt runtime files staged in sysroot |
**Acceptance criteria:**
- [ ] `redbear-greeterd` logs "compositor ready, launching greeter UI"
- [ ] `redbear-greeter-ui` process appears in `ps`
- [ ] Qt6/QML greeter login screen visible on the display (QEMU VNC)
- [ ] Text input field accepts username, password field accepts password
- [ ] Login attempt reaches `redbear-authd` (visible in authd logs)
**Estimated effort:** 35 days (compositor-to-UI handoff + Qt runtime path validation)
---
### 3.4 Blocker D: Session handoff after successful login
**Priority:** P1 — requires Blocker C resolved first.
**Symptom:** Unknown — haven't reached this stage yet. Expected gap: after `redbear-authd` authenticates, `redbear-session-launch` starts the KDE session but KWin/Plasma may fail.
**Files to verify:**
| File | Check | Why |
|------|-------|-----|
| `local/recipes/system/redbear-authd/source/src/main.rs` | `start_session()` flow: does it call session-launch correctly? | Authd initiates the session launch after successful auth |
| `local/recipes/system/redbear-session-launch/source/src/main.rs` | Verify uid/gid drop, env setup, `dbus-run-session` invocation | Session needs correct user context and D-Bus session bus |
| `config/wayland.toml` | Verify canonical KWin launch env (`KWIN_DRM_DEVICES`, `XDG_RUNTIME_DIR`, `QT_*` paths) | KWin session needs same DRM/seat/Qt env as greeter |
| `local/recipes/kde/kwin/` | Verify `kwin_wayland_wrapper` binary is staged and executable | KWin wrapper must be in PATH for session launch |
**Acceptance criteria:**
- [ ] Successful login in greeter triggers session launch
- [ ] `redbear-session-launch` starts with correct UID/GID
- [ ] D-Bus session bus starts for the user session
- [ ] `kwin_wayland_wrapper --drm` starts as the user session compositor
- [ ] `plasmashell` starts (or at minimum, a KWin desktop surface appears)
**Critical gap:** `redbear-kde-session` — the script that `redbear-session-launch` invokes for the KDE session — was not found in the source tree. This script or binary must be created/staged at `/usr/bin/redbear-kde-session`. It should set KDE session environment variables (`XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=KDE`, `KDE_FULL_SESSION=true`) and launch `kwin_wayland_wrapper` + `plasmashell`. The upstream KWin Wayland service entry (`plasma-kwin_wayland.service.in`) provides a reference template.
**Estimated effort:** 47 days (session handoff + KDE session bring-up + missing script creation)
---
### 3.5 Non-blocker: Fix live ISO preload
**Priority:** P2 — live mode is a convenience, not required for graphical login.
**Symptom:** `live: disabled (unable to allocate 4078 MiB upfront)` — even with 6 GiB guest RAM.
**Fix:** Modify bootloader in `recipes/core/bootloader/source/src/main.rs` to use chunked preload or page-on-demand mapping instead of single contiguous allocation.
**Estimated effort:** 23 days
---
## 4. Execution Order
```
Phase 1 (P0): Fix kernel 4 GiB RAM hang
└── Unblocks real hardware testing and 4 GiB QEMU configs
Phase 2 (P0): Enable DRM/KMS for Wayland
└── redox-drm auto-spawn + KWIN_DRM_DEVICES wiring
└── Unblocks KWin --drm mode
Phase 3 (P1): Wire Qt6/QML greeter UI
└── Requires Phase 2 (DRM backend for compositor)
└── Deliverable: visible greeter login screen on framebuffer
Phase 4 (P1): Session handoff
└── Requires Phase 3 (greeter auth working)
└── Deliverable: post-login KDE session starts
Phase 5 (P2): Fix live ISO preload
└── Independent of phases 14
└── Deliverable: ISO boots with live mode enabled
```
### Parallel work opportunities
- **Phase 5** (live ISO) can proceed in parallel with Phases 14
- Within Phase 2: pcid rule creation and KWIN_DRM_DEVICES env wiring are independent
- Within Phase 3: greeterd protocol fixes and Qt6 path validation are independent
