Load kernel and call it

[onlshk]

Hello,

I loaded kernel.bin from disk with ext2 with:

Code: Select all

	mov bx, buffer
		mov byte [DAP.count],   0x12
		mov word [DAP.offset],  0x10000
		mov word [DAP.segment], 0x0
		mov dword [DAP.lba], esi

		xor esi, esi
		xor eax, eax

		mov si, DAP		 
		mov ah, 0x42		
		mov dl, 0x80		
		int 0x13

My kernel.bin is simple:

Code: Select all

void kmain(){
  unsigned char *vidmem = (unsigned char*) 0x00B8000;
  *vidmem++ = 'K';
}

Now i'm jumping to protected mode and trying to call

Code: Select all

kmain

from there with:

Code: Select all

call 0x10000

After this virtual machine crashes with:

Code: Select all

qemu: fatal: Trying to execute code outside RAM or ROM at 0x00000000000a0000

Don't ignore compiler/assembler warnings.

[iansjack]

Have you implemented exception handlers?

[Bender]

Do you switch (is there a better term for that?) to a 32 bit code segment before performing the jump?

Are you about disk reading exceptions? Yes, i have it but reading is successful.

Yes first of all i jumped to protected mode and there i'm executing call.

Don't ignore compiler/assembler warnings.

ah, yes, 65536... But how can i read from there if i want to load my code to 0x10000? I already did it and it works, but i read it from floppy disk and didn't use LBA, there was just ex and bx with 0x1000 and 0x0, but how to load it with LBA...

Real Mode, and not using "word" when you mean "dword".

Also, get bochs and try stepping through your code. Instruction by instruction. Check for each of them if it does what you think it does, and if it doesn't, why it doesn't. There are more than a dozen things that could go wrong and it's very likely more than one thing did go wrong. But since the cause is probably going to be very obvious with this simple practice, it's better if you get the hands-on experience to do it yourself.

Yes, it is the best advice.

Found a problem, loaded kernel with wrong DAP, now is all right. Thank you all.
