What's at location 0x00105980? You are getting a page fault there, so it probably isn't mapped. What is the error code from it? Have you some simple exception handlers which you haven't shown us? If not, any exception will cause a triple fault. Have you mapped the pages used by your stack(s)?

[dseller]

People might want to help out more if you would actually write a little introduction, and a comprehensible explanation of your problem. So "triple fault when enabling paging" and a bunch of logs & code slapped below isn't enough. Also, my personal opinion is that it's a very rude way to "ask" for help.

What's at location 0x00105980? You are getting a page fault there, so it probably isn't mapped.

It's worse, that's his page directory address, and it is unaligned.

[iansjack]

Oops - I was looking at the wrong register.

Yes, the page table is going to be completely screwed by the misalignment.

[sajadbanooie]

yes thats the address of page dir.
there is a simple exception handler which prints "page fault" and halts the cpu.
I have identity mapped the kernel and addresses below 1 MB.

[iansjack]

As Combuster pointed out, the page table has to be page aligned. Yours is actually starting at 0x00105900, whereas you treat it as starting at 0x00105980, so it contains random values (or zeros) in the first entries. Hence, as soon as you enable paging everything breaks.

[sajadbanooie]

the page dir is now loaded at address 0.
but the problem is not fixed.

[iansjack]

You should single-step the code in the Boch's debugger to determine exactly where it is failing. Inspect the registers, page tables, and other significant memory locations at that point. The error should then become apparent. You are better placed to do this than anyone else on this forum.
