bochs physical memory read
Posted: Mon Jun 04, 2012 9:35 pm
I made some changes to my kernel and all of a sudden a function, which was working fine earlier, started throwing a physical memory read error.
The page table seems to be fine -
(The page directory self-referencing)
Here is the debug sequence for the function :
This function is trying to copy the contents of one physical frame to another after disabling paging. However as soon as it writes
to cr0 register an error is thrown.
Please suggest the possible causes of this and how i can debug this.
