raevin: thanks for testing that out. I've just tried #4 on another computer, and found the same problem. Adding -fno-stack-protector to the CFLAGS line in the Makefile did solve it, however.

I've noticed a bug where bochs panics on my second machine (but qemu works). Strange, I'll look into it. Didn't realise bochs on different machines would produce different results!

Btw: some links on the site don't work at the moment. It's alpha still so I'm fixing them!

EDIT: Tutorials 4 and 5 updated, they should now work completely. Added -fno-stack-protector to CFLAGS and changed a 0xFF to 0x0F which was causing bochs to fail (although not on my dev machine - wonder why?) The links are still broken until i can get the perl modules flushed again so use your common sense when encountering a broken link, look at the url and try the obvious combinations

You're welcome.

Yeah, it fixed it for me too, I was apparently doing something else wrong ^_^; Sorry about that false alarm.

The code is flaky on VirtualBox as well, but for the most part is does work fine.

Then again, VMs aren't as realistic as the real thing, so it's always going to be different.
