Hi Everyone
I'm Developing os in fasm using Grub as my bootloader
i've printed the string on the screen, and set my own GDT and IDT and defined ISR
every thing works fine, whe i call interup, interupt is triggered and i get message on screen
but problem is if i don't call any interupt also my os is throwing Double Fault Exception, please help!
Here is my code
Code:

InstallGDT:
        cli                                                                                                                                     
        pusha                                                                                                                           
        lgdt    [GDT]                                                                                                           
        sti

you should implement the 32 first interrupt vectors as they are reserved for the cpu in protected mode. here, you just have defined the 9 first vectors, it's not enough.

no i have defined 32 interrupt vectors but i have posted only some part of the code

Only double fault or does it triple fault as well?
Do you know what the first exception was?
Is paging enabled?
Is the pop ebx in the ISRs correct?

effectivelly, this instruction seems to unbalance the stack.

This appears to be it, seems there's no "push EBX" to correspond to the pop, unless it is being done elsewhere.

first exception is bound range exceeded
only double fault exception, no triple fault
paging is not enabled
yes i removed pop ebx instruction.still same result

Probably a silly question, but since you suggested that you are writing boot code: are you already in protected mode? Wink

Well, may be the problem is not in your initialization code, but at the "operational" code. What are you doing after setting idtr and gdtr?
Take care about implicit ds or ss usages, it is possible you are using incorrect values at those registers.
I recommend you to write a valid descriptor for int 13(general protection fault). It is highly probable it clarifies the bugs:
codes: bits 0 and 1
INDEX: bits 3 up to end(like selectors)
bit 0. 1:External source 0: internal source
bit 1. 1:INDEX is the index of idt that cause the fault 0: index is the gdt index where the fault occurs.

after setting gdt and idt i just print Hello World string.
after setting valid idt descriptor
General protection fault is causing double fault exception

FYI: executing a halt (hlt) with the interrupt flag cleared causes a processor freeze that can only be recovered with an advanced NMI/SMI... not sure why you've included it though.

after setting valid idt descriptor
General protection fault is causing double fault exception

Maybe this is because you get interrupts ?
Did you try to disable interrupt controller ?
Maybe you get an interrupt not catched.

Did you try to disable PIC with the specified I/O addresses ?

I think (as is in my mind) you can not disable the exceptions or "traps" (IRQ 0-1F).
So must be a "real" interrupt not catched from a real time clock or something similar.
Try to catch all interrupts 00-FF and check which interrupt occurs and why.


Did you check all hints in the INTEL documentation "IA32 Software Development Guide Vol. 3a" ? Chapter 6 describes detailed interrupt system and how to be handled on about 65 pages. Wink

perhaps it's in the code you didn't publish? "puts" isn't provided, for one.

Here's my IDT, hopefully it will provide you with what you need. Beware, it is circa 2005 and may not be as up to date as it could be, although it still assembles and works:
