Bochs "physical adress not available" after enabeling paging

[Nezmar]

It does throw a page fault. When it tries to handle the page fault, it encounters another page fault. When it tries to handle that page fault, it encounters a third page fault and shuts down. The chipset detects the shutdown and resets the CPU.

How comes it encounter a page fault when handling a page fault? Should paging not be disabled when calling the interrupt?

How am i supposed to do it then?

Normally you reserve part of the virtual address space for your kernel and keep your entire kernel mapped the same way all the time.

Paging stays enabled. Where did you hear otherwise?

[Nezmar]

So basically the kernel still needs to be mapped in the processes page directory so that it can call interrupts and all?

Well after reading the wiki again I realized that I have made some incorrect assumptions about how paging works.

Anyway thanks a lot for the help. I think I understand it now.
