A simple multiboot TestSuit but GRUB said NO!?

I wrote:

Code: Select all

MultiBootHeader:

_RealStart:
	cli
	hlt

And compiled via nasm with : nasmw -fbin -o Helper Helper.ASM

while booting via GRUB 0.95 with : kernel --type=multiboot it just said :
Error 13: Invalid or Unsupported executable format

Why?

Sigh I've solved. After reading Spec carefully I found :

12 u32 header_addr if flags[16] is set

16 u32 load_addr if flags[16] is set

20 u32 load_end_addr if flags[16] is set

24 u32 bss_end_addr if flags[16] is set

28 u32 entry_addr if flags[16] is set

That's to say , I MUST set bit 16 of FLAGS aimed in telling GRUB how to boot ..

Sigh , just fuking my stupid question

Hmm...multiboot PE kernel sounds possible implementing ....
