Trying to execute code outside RAM?

Hello!
My kernel, Chronos, was enabling interrupts, and crashed qemu with the message "Trying to execute code outside RAM or ROM at 0x000000006a006afa".
This address is never defined in my code, so the only clue I have is that it's in the irq code (It works fine with normal interrupts)
This is the output from qemu:
Code: Select all
qemu: fatal: Trying to execute code outside RAM or ROM at 0x000000006a006afa

The link to the code is in my sig (in the dev branch)

No one should have to click the link to solve your problem. Use the debugger.

Debugger? Do you mean gdb? I could never get it to work with qemu...

Try bochs and it's internal debugger.

Also could never get bochs to work.
Maybe developing on a prerelease version of Ubuntu was a bad thing...

I'll give you a clue.
If you reverse the contents of the EIP you get
If you then pass that through a disassembler you get

Yo:
One of the few core basics of getting a kernel to run is to ensure that the CPU is executing the code in the first place...

I had the same problem with my bootloader and it turned out to be a segmentation problem, so maby that is what it is.
PS: This is my first post.

This is my bochsrc.bxrc (just trial&error on my part with some googling to get this working with bochs 2.5.1)
Code: Select all
# configuration file generated by Bochs
#plugin_ctrl: unmapped=1, biosdev=1, speaker=1, extfpuirq=1, gameport=1, pci_ide=1, acpi=1, ioapic=1
config_interface: win32config

floppy_bootsig_check: disabled=0
magic_break: enabled=1
floppya: type=1_44, 1_44="a:", status=inserted

and I use real floppies or mount a 1.44mb image file with the program ImDisk:

If you look at the segment registers you can see that cs is different from all the other segment regs, so you can try loading your segment regs with this:
Code: Select all
mov ax, cs
mov ds, ax
mov ss, ax
mov fs, ax
mov gs, ax

CS should be different from the other segment regs.
Since the hint didn't work ...
The bug is here, in
descriptor_tables.c line 25
Code: Select all
//Apparently, I have to extern IRQ's
extern u32int irq0;

But if you have a bootloader then cs is 07C0h, right?

Chronos boots from Grub I think. So it's already in protected mode.

The effect of
Segmentation is different in
Protected Mode compared to
Real Mode.
Also, you're hijacking someone else's thread. It's better that you refrain from posting than to just guess because wrong information isn't helping anyone. If you don't understand something, will you please make a new thread so we can help you instead of fencing you out like paparazzi.

I had to externalize the irqs because they wouldn't be recognized by C.
Also, I don't get what your saying with line 25, what's wrong with it? I have a feeling its the type.
