need a little help with sector loading problem...

Hi all,


I am (finally) implementing the ability to load sectors in my OS. Since my os is only 512 bytes, I have decided to save space and instead of having the user type what sector they want loaded, they press keys F1-F3 to load sectors 1-3 respectively (I am adding F4-F12 later...).

The problem is that when loading a sector, the OS crashes in bochs with the message "00068675875p[CPU0 ] >>PANIC<< prefetch: RIP > CS.limit"

Sectors are loaded to 0x2000:0x0000

Here is the F* key handiling and sector loading code:

Code: Select all

<snip>
;this is called after main command prompt detects extended keystroke

sectcomp:		;sector loading f1-f3 key compare routine
cmp ah, 0x3B	;3B=code for F1, which is the sector that the OS is on.  
je reload
cmp ah, 0x3C	;3C=code for F2
je loadsect2		
cmp ah, 0x3D	;3D=code for F3
je loadsect3
jmp CmdPrompt ;invalid keystroke, go back to cmd prompt

<snip>

;actual loading/jumping code
;the code for the "loadsect3" label is identical except it loads sector 3
loadsect2:
mov bx, 0x2000		
mov es, bx
mov bx, 0x0000		
mov ah, 02            
mov al, 01           
mov ch, 01		
mov cl, 02		
mov dh, 01		
mov dl, 00		
int 0x13    
jmp far 0x2000:0x0000
And the Bochs 2.2.Pre3 log:

It seems that you really can load the sector to memory because bochs say that CS=2000, maybe the error is into the code you load and jump to.

Here's the test program

Code: Select all

;Protonix sector loading test program
;Just prints a string, waits for a key, and returns to the OS
;Also demonstrates Protonix interrupts in user programs

use16 
org 0x0000

mov ax, 0x2000
mov ds, ax
mov es, ax

mov si, string   ;load and print string
mov si, pakmsg
int 0x21

int 0x22      ;wait for key

int 0x19      ;give control back to OS

string db 'If you can read this, you have successfully run the Protonix test program',13,10,0
pakmsg db 'Press any key to return to Protonix',13,10,0


times 512-($-$$) db 0   ;make file 512 bytes
All times are UTC-06:00
