I found a great tutorial for beginners: http://en.skelix.org/skelixos/

It's a step-by-step C/ASM tutorial that covers, boot strapping, writing to the screen, input handling, paging, task switching, syscalls, and loading flat binaries from disks.

I found this while googling and thought I should share!

Pretty nice find.. Surely will help out some people, would be nice if some of the archives were in tar/gzip/bzip2 instead of rar though..

It seems that I have a very sensitive antivirus... When I wanted to download source code for exception handling, my antivirus popped up with really cute adrenaline red screen that a unknown *BOOT* virus is in the .RAR file .... - again, BOOT virus in .RAR file.

That just tells you your anti-virus heuristics are probably working.

Especially with all the hardware virtualization coming, I don't think it's that old-fashioned to consider boot-viruses a potential threat.
