When booting my kernel in GRUB I receive:
The kernel is 2 blocks long, and I am feeding GRUB 'kernel 200+2'.

I am at a loss to correct this problem. The kernel was just compiled by my new cross-compiler. I removed error 13 with the cross compiler but now I have this. I think the problem is related to the .text section in my assembly loader, but I am unsure. This kernel and all other code is EXACTLY as the bare bones tutorial describes, including this .text section.

Basically, I need help.

Use/Fix your linker script. ld links to a default address, which is not 1MB but rather 128MB. I don't think the emulator provides that much RAM for you

OP Here. I am NOT hosting and building on a x64 arch to target a x32 arch. there is another GRUB error 28 post in the forums relating to that. That is not my problem, in so far as I know.

I suggest you actually read what I said instead of making a fool of yourself.

I am too noob. How do I do that? I looked at the bnutils docs on linker scripts aka http://sourceware.org/binutils/docs-2.19/ld/ and was unable to figure this out.

And you spent like, only two minutes on it?

I was in the process of posting that above without reading your post. My post above had nothing to do wit your suggestion. I was not making a fool of myself.

Whatever you want, Mr. Reagan.

Please do your homework if you don't want to get caught riding the Fail Express.

I still have not figured it out. HELP. Someone.

Did you do this?

Use/Fix your linker script. ld links to a default address, which is not 1MB but rather 128MB.

I have tried. But I do not know how. I am admitting defeat, as I am an experienced usermode application programmer, but my skills with linker scripts are failing me. Standard win32 programming almost never requires manual modification of a linker script. In OS development I obviously need to know, so any help would be appreciated, specifically, how do I force the linker script to not link by defaulting to 128mb?

Post it so someone can look for the problem

This kernel and all other code is EXACTLY as the bare bones tutorial describes

Somehow, I find it strange that you did find the relevant tutorial but neglected the linker script contained in there. As well as again not doing your homework.

The manual. Read it. Learn it. Love it.
