Hi, I'm using the file heap.c (http://code.google.com/p/jamesm-tutoria ... ce/browse/ # svn 2Fthe_heap% 2Fbranches% 2Fsrc%) of JamesM, but sometimes I call the function kmalloc error occurs paging. In another tutorial (http://www.jamesmolloy.co.uk/tutorial_html/7.-The 20Heap.html%), the same error does not happen. I'm finding it strange because not always the error occurs. Please can someone help me. Thank you.

It's quite normal for memory allocation problems to seem intermittent. If there are bugs in your memory management they may depend on the usage pattern. There is nothing special here, the answer is to debug.

Try debugging it. It's a lost art.

Here is my debug logs on Bochs () and VirtualBox (), I understand little about it...

berkus You're right, I'm doing things quickly, first I have to learn more about all this... Thank you...

That is not debugging. That is outsourcing debugging.

I have ever used this code , but I have not found bugs on kmalloc (fit some problems).

I finally managed to solve the problem was a bug in my code GDT that was influencing the allocation of memory. Thank you all ...
