Multiboot PE Kernel?

Post by hendric »

I've tried a PE kernel with multiboot header built followed by Srenevasan's blog http://ksrenevasan.blogspot.com/2005/10 ... ml|Kaushik
And I've tried with GRUB as Kernel --type=multiboot /kernel.exe But it doesn't work . An error reported just said unsupported executable format.How and why?

By the way, anyone got a full FAT12 Document? I found the very thing within wiki hard understanding for me...

It couldn't find the multiboot header. As i dont know the workings of msvc, reread the tutorial to see wether you missed anything, and try running mbchk (which comes with grub).

Who said OSDeving was easy :roll:

Being able to read documentation is a necessary skill for this kind of work, so I suggest you work on it... Besides, this is IMO the most usable document around.
