Simply, the fault is up to both
(seriously, you SHOULD push and pop eax)

[aladdin]

i tried to push/pop eax, and there is no change
i also tried to push/pop all regs and it doesn't work :-\

[DennisCGc]

Code: Select all

k_int0:
    cli
    call idt_int0
    mov al,0x20
    out 0x20,al
    sti
    iret

This should be:

Code: Select all

k_int0:
    push eax
    cli
    call idt_int0
    mov al,0x20
    out 0x20,al
    pop  eax
    sti
    iret

Does this work, or did you already give it a try ? ::)

cli and sti are bug-prone and useless in this situation. Drop them. The cpu does save/restore IF for you.

this is the correct stub for "IRQ0"

Code: Select all

k_int0:
    pushad
    push ds
    push es
   mov ax,DEFAULT_DATA_SELECTOR
    mov ds, ax
    mov es,ax    
    call idt_int0
    mov al,0x20
    out 0x20,al
    pop es
    pop ds
    popad
    iret

this is the correct stub for "division by zero exception"

Code: Select all

k_int0:
    pushad
    push ds
    push es
   mov ax,DEFAULT_DATA_SELECTOR
    mov ds, ax
    mov es,ax    
    call idt_int0
    pop es
    pop ds
    popad
    iret

I think the problem comes from IRQ0 (timer), coze, when I push/pop eax there, the console scrolls correctly, but floppy driver can't fire IRQ6..
so i'll try youre code, hoping it fix my problem...

thank you for help

cli and sti are bug-prone and useless in this situation. Drop them. The cpu does save/restore IF for you.

Also, the PICs are blocking any IRQ signal too, but using cli/sti doesn't matter.
And it isn't causing a bug.

[aladdin]

it seems that your code works well, but i have the same problem as when i used a simple push/pop eax, my floppy driver can't get IRQ6, the only way to get it is to change eax value returned by IRQ0, is this normal ??

when i use this code

Code: Select all

k_int0:
    pushad
    push ds
    push es
  mov ax,DEFAULT_DATA_SELECTOR
    mov ds, ax
    mov es,ax    
    call idt_int0
    mov al,0x20
    out 0x20,al
    pop es
    pop ds
    popad
    iret

I can't get IRQ6

but when I use this one

Code: Select all

k_int0:
    pushad
    push ds
    push es
  mov ax,DEFAULT_DATA_SELECTOR
    mov ds, ax
    mov es,ax    
    call idt_int0
    mov al,0x20
    out 0x20,al
    pop es
    pop ds
    popad
    or eax, 0x8000  
    iret

it works well ???

hmm the first time I tested it, I got a triple fault in vmware - right after the x-os splash/boot screen.

the second time it hangs, still showing the splash/boot screen. pressing the any key doesn't help, I just get some beeps.

the third try gives an triple fault again..

btw the splash screen "scroll up effect" takes a bit long, doesn't it?..

[aladdin]

have u tested it on bochs qemu or, a real machine?
how mutch memory have you give it on vmware ?

btw the splash screen "scroll up effect" takes a bit long, doesn't it?.

it's not a scroll up effect, it's because of emulated bios calls under vmware (or any other virtual machine).
it works faster on a real PC.
u can disable splash screen by editing boot/setup.asm and comment the call to splash screen function .

thank u 4 testing

I ran it under vmware with 32megs of ram.
/* was too lazy to fire up bochs and press the buttons through the textmode config menu */

I'll get virtualpc soon, as it's in the msdnaa for free =)
/* I could have installed it long time ago, but I also was too lazy */

/* was too lazy to fire up bochs and press the buttons through the textmode config menu */

u can use bochs -q instead
