bochs doesn't work with the kernel i built from the bare bones C tutorial. I am a complete noob at this and have not ran anything in bochs yet. I have followed the tutorial intensively, and i have been searching for a fix but can't seem to find one on the OSDev-wiki. Its probebly some average noob mistake, but here we go. This is what i get at the end of bochs console and heres what i get for bochs display: any help would be nice.

Looks like either the floppy or the grub binary is broken. Bochs is not at fault. Sorry, I'm not sure what to do.

You possibly did the floppy making stage wrong. Try it again.

well i got it at least i think. It doesn't have to io error or whatever it is anymore... it was grubs stage1 and stage2, i downloaded it again and lol the binaries were different size than the ones i was using...
