Multiboot Kernels

[FreakyProgrammer]

Hey, I've recently decided to use GRUB as my bootloader instead of writting my own... and I am pretty new to it and I'm looking for some simple multiboot compliant kernels I can check out... anyone know of any?, thx

peace out...

hi,
You need to follow multiboot specification given by grub. It can be found on
http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual ... iboot.html

It also contains sample code.

thank you... I have already read over it some... and booted the sample code... I was just wondering if anyone knew of any other multiboot compliant kernels I could experiment around with... and once again thanx "virusx"

hi,
You can find hundreds of them in
http://www.osdev.org/projects.jsp

Most of them are multiboot os. Big projects like
GNU hurd OS
is also uses multiboot spec of GRUB.
Grub is the best choice for most of os developers.

If you can locate Therx's OSID database, you'll find plenty of hobby OSes and see if they use GRUB or not and if they use the same development environment than yours or not

i cannot point you towards it for now as g00gle seems not to respond atm.

OT: there's a flaw in your signature: "if BillGates=Quality" is an assignment rather than an equality comparison :p your code will always end up with 'Quality' in BillGates and 'Gourmet' in McDonalds var. except if Quality is defined as 0 ;D

Thanks everyone for your help,

Goto here and search for GRUB. That will give you stuff from the library and the OSID
