Hi everyone!
I have almost made a bootloader, but problem occured whikle pmode jump
Code:
        USE16
        ORG 7C00h

        START1:

        jmp START

        DATASECT:

        DAP:
        DAP_Size             db 10h         ;1h

        DAP_Buff_Addr2       dw 80h          ;8h
        DAP_LBA              dq 2049h          ;11h

        DAT:
        DAT_Disk_Num         db 80h         ;12h          number of device 80h-winchester
        DAT_Num_Of_Sects     dw 1h          ;13h          the number of 512byte sectors, that contain your kernel your kernel + 1

        GDT:

        or eax, 1
        mov cr0, eax
        jmp pword 08h:THEMODEP-START1+9FA01h  ; i think the problem is here

        USE32
        THEMODEP:
        sti



        HAPPY_END:
        nop
        jmp HAPPY_END

        times 291 db 0
        dw 0AA55h  
    

as you can see, i cant use label directly because i moved my bootloader to high memory location(the first byte of code is 9FA0h:0001h)
what to do ?
how to solve it?

Remove the "+ 1".
Code:
        push JUMP_POINT - START1 ;+ 1

no, its allright there but the thing which doesnt work is pmode jump

Remove the "+ 1" from all places:
Code:
        mov si, DAP - START1 ;+ 1               ;loading si to point to the DAP
;...
        jmp pword 08h:THEMODEP-START1+9FA00h  ;9fa00

omg, its +1h because it loads to 9fa0h:0001h
problem is only with PMODEjump(i even tried 9fa00h instead of 9fa01h)
there is no problems with the rest of code

Did you update the linear address of the GDT?
Code:
                   dd GDT_STARTS                            ;17h

By using the offset of + 1 everywhere all your alignments will be out-of-alignment. I would suggest to make your coding job easier to simply remove all the + 1 offsets, then you don't have to worry about things failing later due to some forgotten place where you need + 1 and also having aligned data moving out of alignment.

Surely you don't want to make you job even harder with all the unneeded + 1 stuff, right?

I see I missed one place also:
Code:
        mov bp, $ ;7BFFh

BOTOKILLER, sorry, but you have done bad work again.

Don't destroy EBDA.
Initialize the stack.
Use "movs" instruction.
Don't allow interrupts until you have done interrupt initialization in PM.
And so on.

Try this sample:
Code:
  relseg equ 60h

  org 7C00h

  xor ax,ax
  cli
  mov ss,ax
  mov sp,$$
  sti

  mov ds,ax
  mov si,relbase
  mov ax,relseg
  mov es,ax
  xor di,di
  push es
  push di
  mov cx,(relsize+1)/2
  cld
  rep movsw
  retf

  align 2
relbase:
  org 0
  ...
  jmp fword 8:Startup32

  org 16*relseg+$
  use32
Startup32:
  ...
  jmp $
  label relsize at $-16*relseg

  org relbase+relsize
  rb 7DFEh-$
  dw 0AA55h
