Hi there,
I'm trying to run the barebones tutorial, but I when the kernel boots, the screen is filled with jibrish.
I compiled my own i586 cross compiler & bochs using the tutorials. I'm using NASM, and bochs to boot.
I followed all the steps, everything looks ok.
I know there can be a lot of reasons for this to happen, if you want me to post anything regarding my configuration, let me know.

May we see a screenshot?

EDIT: Here is a good way to test your setup.

Code: Select all

bits 16
org 0x7c00
mov ax, 0xb800
mov ds, ax
xor ax, ax
mov [ax], "S"
inc ax
mov [ax], 7
hlt
times 510-($-$$) db 0
dw 0x55aa

The bare bones tutorial should be small enough to single step through it, I would assume.

I will try the assembly you provided.
