Question about which tools to use, bugs, the best way to implement a function, etc should go here. Don't forget to see if your question is answered in the wiki first! When in doubt post here.
OK...
I have found the problem, it wasnt even in my kerenel....It is in my bootloader....there is a problem with the nubmer 128, and possibly any number over that, does anyone know if NASM uses signed integers (i.e. numbers where the MSB is 1 are negative) thats the only thing I can think of, as testing if a num = 128 works, but testing if a 128 is > than 18 doesnt work, when in a byte (cl) but does when in a word (bx)...
so I fixed that problem by making my "get_location" method, which takes an LBA address and converts to CHS, take a word, instead of a byte....however..now it gets to sector 128 (or 129, not sure) and then cant seem to find the next cluster....sigh
do you use the correct comparisons for unsigned? (JG JL JGE JLE vs JA JB JAE JBE)
