Random Double-Fault in Bochs

Post by JohnnyTheDon »

When enabling interrupts on my BSP on bochs, I get a double-fault. It doesn't seem to be from enabling interrupts, it just always give me a double-fault exception even though no other exceptions have been triggered and interrupts have been masked during the runtime of my OS. If I handle the double-fault by doing nothing, it continues on as if nothing happens. This doesn't seem to happen on my APs. Any insights?

Have you remapped the PIC (or configured the IOAPIC for MP systems)
Also, does the "double fault" push an errorcode? If it doesn't it is not a double fault but an external interrupt.

Oh, that must be it, I haven't yet configured the IOAPIC. I'll try configuring the IOAPIC first.
