qemu keeps restarting after grub menu

It doesn't boot correctly. It executes random code, which happens to have you end up in main() and make it appear that it works. For the time being.

Hmm... OK. In the debug info (see previous post) Start is located at 0x10000c but it boots at 0x100000, I guess that's the problem. I should examine my linker script, I remember doing something to it a few months (or weeks) ago.

What you might consider doing is changing "start" to "realStart" (or something similar) and then before the multiboot structure just have something like this:

Code: Select all

global start
start:
  jmp realStart

;; Multiboot structure

;; realStart which was previously start

That way the code just jumps over the multiboot structure, and GRUB will still be able to find it.

OK, it works when I rename the entry point from Start to _start. This was exactly what I've done, but perhaps I didn't recheck it after recompilation. Is this an ld limitation?
