ok, I have been googling for weeks, reading the grub docs and disecting other multiboot kernels and I can seem to be able to figure out how to link the startup code and the kernel main file... can someone please give me a small code snippet to work with... my goal is to be able to compile an ELF multiboot kernel for GRUB so I can start deving on my kernel but im about ready to give up because it seems that there is nothing on the matter... please help me, i would be very grateful

Could you be a little more specific? What *exactly* is the problem? You could post a little more detailed information...

Hello, I hope you're still there. Sorry if I'm digging up a dead topic, but it took me a long time to figure out how to build this too, and I think this needs to be easier to find. After you get the bootable disk with GRUB and a filesystem with a menu.lst on it, here is how to compile it:
gcc -I. -c boot.S
gcc -I. -fno-builtin -c kernel.c
ld boot.o kernel.o -o kernel -nostdlib -N -Ttext 0x100000
cp kernel /mnt/floppy/boot
