bootloader hangs

Post by jayt »

I'm new to OS development and found a tutorial how to write a
simple kernel.

I tried to boot my tiny experimental kernel with Qemu.
The verbum bootloader 0.03.0 prints out:

Resetting disk drive.
Loading stage two ... done
Second stage loaded, proceeding to switch context.
_


The cursor blinks but nothing else happens.

My kernel is in the boot image, but doesn't boot.
What can I do to load the kernel image?

Here are the sources: http://diy-2010.net/community/?attachment_id=751

Do I have to modify the bootloader?

I switched to GRUB 2 bootloader now everything works and I can boot my kernel.
