memory write error

edit: OSdeving when tired is a really bad idea, but I've got nothing else to do and I really want to right now...

Then let's start about your OS's name

Sorry, but LOL, hahahaha .

@sngskunk: What do you mean my structure, the structure of my IDT?
If that's it here:

Code: Select all

struct idt_entry
{
	unsigned short address_low;
	unsigned short gdt_selector;
	unsigned char unused;
	unsigned char flags;
	unsigned short address_high;
} __attribute__((packed));

...

struct idt_entry *idt[256];

I don't see what could be wrong with it...
Still I'm great full for any help...
Thanks in advance,

Jules

edit: By the way, did I get that right Combuster?

[sngskunk]

Shouldnt your function look like this, use "." and not "->"

Code: Select all

idt[int_no].address_low = (address & 0xFFFF);
idt[int_no].gdt_selector = gdt_selector;
idt[int_no].unused = 0;
idt[int_no].flags = flags;
idt[int_no].address_high = ((address >> 16) & 0xFFFF);

[Combuster]

I think tomorrow you'll say "OMG DID I SAY THAT? O.o"

p.s. an array of IDTs doesn't work either

Right now you should just take out a piece of paper and pen and write down your ideas, bookmark this thread, and try again tomorrow. You'll be making these mistakes until you do. Virginix is a good name, I suppose when it is done it will change to Consummated-ix? Ok, I am leaving now, good luck with your project.

Thanks, that fixed it..., I converted both my idt and idt pointer to normal variables instead of pointers.... and converted '->' to '.'...
Oh so I get it, it was passing the address of the pointer to the structures.... instead of the address of the structure directly...
Thanks,

Jules

Yah..., how the hell did I say that...
Consumated-nix , virginix is a reference to a friends name actually....
Thanks,

Jules

edit: now for adding my IRQs...
