PMODE HELP

[cometkeeper]

Hallo...

I found an example of boot code that load a kernle file from floppy, but doesn't switch in pmode. Does anyone know where can I find a boot code that switch in pmode and load a file???

thank you...

1. stop shouting (writing in caps-lock mode)
2. stfw
3. use GRUB. it loads files, switches to pmode and more ... Otherwise, you can refer to the 'simple kernels' section of the wiki faq. http://www.osdev.org/osfaq2/index.php/HomePage

You have three options, in decreasing order of probability:

1. You search the web some more. There are numerous examples of code that boots to PM in the boot sector, but there are also lots that don't. Think why not, and search for the code that does. Then use that.
2. Make it yourself. This allows you to learn lots, and actually get something in your mind about how the computer works, and how to best debug (which is useful for writing your own OS level debugging stuff).
3. Get someone else to give it to you. We are not bots (except for Tim-bot maybe, but he doesn't do handouts I think) and we are not here to make it a breeze for you. We are here to discuss problems. So if you run into a problem while testing some code and can't figure it out, or you cannot seem to get instruction X to execute correctly, come with such questions. People that work hard to try something somehow make me feel all queasy inside, and makes me want to help them a lot more than people that just come here like "hey I'm <some name>. Give me code that does <X>". It does make quite a difference if you at least tried hard.

In reply to #1

I wasn't shouting, only emph...

in reply to #2

Treally don't understand the reason of you pathetic outlet (is it the right word? ). IT'S CLEAR that people who come here love carnally doing things themselves. So... me too. If I asked some example should be tell you that - maybe - I need some help and not what you said. I'm not here to "steal" code...

I hope I explained well even if my english is not perfect!

However...
I rewrite the question so we are all happy ok??

Does anyone can help in making myself boot code that use pmode and load a file (usefull links, usefull guide etc...)???

Thank you...
