Thanks! It took me three hours after I'd finished reading, lol, mainly because I had to keep checking the reference /=
Did you get a chance to test it?

Just finished testing your operating system now (on Virtual PC 2007), looks like a very good start.
I particularly like the [OK] appearing as things are set up. While it's pretty shamelessly ripped from Linux, it works great.
My one gripe would be documentation: when I boot it up, there's pretty much nothing saying what I should type into the shell... I tried all the obvious UNIXy things (man, help, ls, etc), but none of them did anything.
Keep up the good work.

Just tried testing on a real machine (OS Testing Machine #1, see link in sig). I get:
Odius wrote:Odius does not support this version of SMBIOS.
Please boot with the -nosmbios option.
When I do that, it comes up with the same error.
In brief, the motherboard is a fairly recent ASUS model. Low-end, don't know much at all about the chipset.

/= I've never disabled it so I've never tested the code...I'll fix it and post a new image.
Actually, I'm surprised you could even boot that image, lol.
