Interesting Project, in our OS (i do not want to spam ;) ), we have decide to split what was the kernel into 2 parts. The first part will be a "32bit BIOS" and the second the kernel. This 32bit BIOS will give codes (as it can be used for other OS's ) the basic function that you have in real mode + Some new ones, but in pmode, but it will load a image to a address above 1MB rather than just the boot sector.

But more to the point, can you give move info about the project, as i can not find any info about things like,
How it performs its tasks eg: does it goto and from pmode, or does it have its own pmode int's function or unrealmode ?.
Also things like memory layout and whats the pmode state you are in eg:
descriptors, A20 enabled, etc.
Thanks
