Yashas, I think maybe what you need to do is to take a step back and take a break from posting for a day or two. make a list of issues you have and put them all in one post. some people here seem pretty jaded and sick of newbies for various obvious reasons, your best strategy is to help yourself which helps us... Google and search the wiki before asking, and think carefully about what you ask. personally I prefer to help rather than ask for help, generally that seems to be more needed and more welcome... Berkus I know this guy comes across as a bit of a newbie with a language barrier but we all started off as newbies, I definitely won't try to tell you how to treat newbies thats your own choice but lets just say I'm not as jaded as you... yet ;-)

Hehe, it's such a typical newbie behavior. "I need everything! Yesterday!" :lol:

@Yashas:
Even if you have collected snippets of code for many various device drivers you have to base it on a good solid understanding of the basics. Read the wiki "cover to cover" and think hard and long about what your goals with OS-dev are, then start from the bottom up and come back with any issues you might have. You have to have patience and do stuff in the correct order to gain as much knowledge as possible. May I also ask how long have you been working on you OS?
