Multiboot 2 troubles

Post by Crumble14 »

Hello

I'm a beginner in OS development and I'm having troubles using Multiboot 2.
When I try to test my OS with QEMU, it doesn't boot at all. (I tried debugging with gdb, no function is called at anytime)

You can find my code here: https://gitlab.com/Crumble14/crumbleos/ ... 0c5871cc32
The entry point is located in src/boot.s.

Am I doing something wrong?

QEMU doesn't support multiboot 2. You can install GRUB in a disk image to boot your kernel, you can patch QEMU to add support for multiboot 2, or you can switch to multiboot 1.

Ow, okay, thank you very much :) I'm going to try to install GRUB then.
