Did you pass the pointer to the multiboot structure to your kernelmain? EBX contains the pointer to the multiboot structure, EAX should contain the value 0x2BADB002. You could pass both to kernelmain with something like:Then in kmain.c modify kernelmain's definition to be:.You will need to include multiboot.h at the top of kmain.c.

Yes, I've pushed the values to stack, and modified the kernelmain definition.
The problem was my formula, which was wrong. I should later convert it to Mebibytes, right?

To get MiB the formula would be (lower+upper)/1024 . If you want that rounded up to the nearest MiB it would be (lower+upper+1023)/1024
