hi friends,
I am a new developer and I need some help.
I have tried two os demo which it doesn't work, I don't know why.
First demo: at http://osanswers.port5.com/tutorials/basickernel.php
I have make the bootflopy "John Fine's bootf02 bootsector " and build the kernel.bin under linux, first which I have notice that the binary image was very big "1 MB" from a " Hello World " :-[. when I booted from the flopy, the bootloader try to read the image but a few seconds it does nothing and the computer
hangup. second I have tried to compiled it with elf format "here the kernel image is 2KB" ;). but at boot time when the bootloader try to read the image the computer rebooted suddenly.

Second demo at : http://www.execpc.com/~geezer/osd/ - osd3 demo"
it base with grub loader. the demo is also been as flopy image distiributed, which work. but when I have compiled it under linux no compile error. ok then restart the computer to see the result. ah error: the grub loader say that it cannot fit the image to memory.

please if you have solution please tell me or you can tell me if the is anothers demo which has been build under linux.
sorry for bad english
