AMD x64

Post by megosh »

I have written a couple of real mode and protected mode boot loaders in the past mostly as a learning experience. I am now looking to write a boot loader and kernel that can take advantages of the 64-bit processor architecture that is currently taking over the market. Any links to related material would be greatly appreciated.

But you have to compile the source by your self for 64bit support!
