Tried to get it working in bochs first, since that's the main debugger since vmware + lfb = trouble. Hm... Anyway, i didn't know what the ints did, all i know is that the code worked, and i wanted to make sure. Unfortunately, i can't get it to work in the Linux Bochs. I don't like 16bit mode, personally, so i just wanted to get something to work so i could compare it to our code to figure out what we're doing wrong.



Interesting, as i've tried that with our code, but *NOT* your code...



That explains why the code to get into pmode works... See, we have working PXE and Floppy boot loaders (pxe, actually, boots itself), only *I* am having a few major floppy issues and my router is a linksys so i can't pxe boot. We've been working in vmware 'till graphics stopped working (vmware apparently doesn't like the LFB) so we're using bochs, and i wanted to boot on a real machine.

Anyway, i'm still having some trouble, but while waiting for responses i've managed to come up with a new idea to help get our code working, which we don't plan on using file systems or anything like that... So, i've hexed out alot of things, and have found some really, really interesting things. I might post some code when it's working, though, for sake of copyrights and such (even though our kernel is GPL and open source), i'll probably just modify the code you have to make a minimalistic but working boot loader.

Thanks for the help, something tells me that i'll end up heeding much of this advice.

Easier, but the project's main purpose is to make an operating system understanding each step of the way. Though, some things like why that GDT structure, the IDT structure, and the A20 gate are so mangled and hacky i don't think anyone will ever understand.

Wtf all the posts and attachments are deleted?

How do I see what they were before?

Oh yeah. That's what happens when lunatics decide to use scorched earth policies because someone hurt their ego, or just for the heck of it.
I've seen this happen with at least 2 members.

This is why I only trust my HDD and its backups when it comes to storing online material.

Now let's let all those threads rest in peace once and for all, shall we?

Can you send me a copy of how this thread was before, please? It sounds interesting from the posts that are still here..


I tried archive.org but it says there is a robots.txt exclusion

Ask mikegonta or the f**king moron who stole his account



This had been discussed already, Tomasz , the only person who could have a backup, didn't answer



Who ???



YES. This has been discussed many times, only Tomasz knows why, but he usually doesn't answer to such troll crap threads

The guy who said he saves all this stuff to his HDD..


P.S. why do I have to keep re-subscribing to threads every single time I reply to them? I hate it when I forget to and then don't get notified of replies to them x_x

@DOS386:
If it was just a "f**king moron who stole his account", I guess mikegonta would've contacted Tomasz or created a new account.


@Azu:
Actually, I don't save EVERYTHING on my HDD. But it happens I have this one.
However, for some reason, the last post I have is Dex4u's 20 Jun 2006 post, before kdownload's bump. It's not a big deal since mikegonta only posted twice since then and you still have the OP.
It also seems the 3 pdf links in the OP still exist so you can still get them.

Thank you.

oh, so there was a backup? thank you ManOfSteel, I wonder if a mod could re post this text back were it belongs :\
