Setting up Paging

Post by one »

I want to set up paging All I've done now is a FAT 12 bootloader which enters PMode and displays my message. DO i have to set up paging before going into Pm or can I do so inside my C code(kernel which displays the message). Thanx in advance.

You can set up paging before you enter protected mode, but remember it won't take effect until protected mode is entered. However, if you're writing this code for the first time, you may find it easier to do it in two stages. Entering protected mode and enabling paging are both difficult to get right first time, so to debug both is extra hard.
