Strange data on screen?

Post by hall123 »

Hi all

When I try to run my OS that prints "Hello world" this comes up in both VMware and VirtualBox,

", bss=0x2000Starting Up ..." any ideas why?

All I can think of is that it is some data from GRUB which I'm using to boot, but it seems the C part of my kernel doesnt load either.

Thanks in advance

The ", bss=0x2000" part looks a lot like some of the information Grub prints before loading a Multiboot kernel

I get this information after I select to boot by operating system from the GRUB bootloader, currently I am thinking my C function is not been called but I'm not sure.

I can't see any bugs in any of the code or in any of the linker scripts that you've posted... ;)
