I am writing a nice little kernel. I have gotten into PMode, but now im absolutely stumped on writing a memory manager. I can't find ANY resources on it, and the wiki is no help to me. I really need some good explaining and a good tutorial. Please help.

So you saw my message telling you to read the wiki, spent less than 5 seconds (at most) looking at the wiki home page, and could find Design Considerations -> Memory and Resource Management -> Memory management? You know something that 5 seconds in ctrl-f in your browser would've found?

If you can't spend the time to help yourself, we won't waste our time telling you to RTFM

Im sorry but you obviously didnt read my post properly. I stated that the wiki was no help to me. I read through it all but did not really understand it.
Please read peoples posts properly before replying with a rather offensive rant.

Your right. I missed your signature. Taking a look through your code, you have a bit of substance there. That being said I see a bunch of problems. Also, have you seen http://wiki.osdev.org/James_Molloy%27s_ ... Known_Bugs? (Also, have you heard of attribution?)

If you can't understand any of the several pages about memory managers on the Wiki, that sounds like a failing on your part, ie. you need to learn more before attempting OSDev. If there was 1 (or 2, or a few) things in those articles that you did not understand, please feel free to let us know what small things you did not understand so we can help you. (Have you seen http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html [listed in the forum rules]?)

Thanks for pointing those things out!
I am currently going through my code and doing a bit of cleanup and fixing up.
Hopefully I can teach myself to naviagte the wiki correctly.

Once again, thanks for you tips and help
