sorry dude but i still have Error 13
i made loader.o
with command

Code: Select all

nasm -f elf -o loader.s

i made kernel.o
with command

Code: Select all

gcc -o kernel.o -c kernel.c -Wall -Wextra -Werror -nostdlib -nostartfiles -nodefaultlibs

but it return warning and pervent from compile that

Code: Select all

kernel.c:1: warning: unused parameter 'mbd'
kernel.c:1: warning: unused parameter 'magic'

and im had to delete mbd and magic from function main()
then i could compile that
i use ld for kernel.Bin it has no error
then i made txtfiles.txt and open it with notepad and write some 'a' in that and save that with PAD name(without any extension) and check size of that has 750 Byte
then i use copy command as:

Code: Select all

copy /b stage1+stage2+PAD+kernel.bin boot

my kernel.bin has 2.38 KB and 4.00 KB on disk
2.38KB => 2437.12 Byte / 512 Byte ==> 4.76 (should i use 5 as end of my kernel or 4?)
and stage1+stage2+PAD has 100 kb
then i use rawrite.exe as:

Code: Select all

rawrite boot a:

after that i put floppy in my fdd and start virtual machin when grub command line is runed
i use command:

Code: Select all

kernel 200+5

hi, you ma remove -Werror option from the option lists! it threads warnings as errors! the warnings about the magic number, is something not serious!
