Hi,

after getting my FAT12 bootloader to work i got stuck on the last part. I'm loading the Kernel into Memory-Segment 0x1000. Then jmp 0x1000:0x0000 works just fine.

But if I try to switch to protected mode before the jump into segment 1000h the bootloader crashes. Could someone please explain how I can do my jmp 0x1000:0x0000 in pmode?

Thanks in advance.

Did you load a temporary gdt first?
in pmode you don't use segments like that
first(after setting up a gdt) you should load the proper segments
like if your data segment is 0x08 and code is 0x10 then you would do
mov ax,0x08
mov ds,ax
mov ss,ax
mov es,ax
mov gs,ax
mov fs,ax
jmp 0x10:0x10000

read some tutorials over pmode @ osdever.net for better explanation..

thx, man this one did the trick.

also thanks for the hint. osdever.net got a huge number of tutorials about OSdevelopment, just incredible
