Yeah, my OS hasn't really gone past kprint and "enabling long mode" I'm working on paging now but I'd like to make sure this works before going any further. It's a binary file that is the kernel that can be booted by any multiboot compliant loader. So here it is:

NOTE Rename it to kanu the txt extension was just so that I could attach it without an Illegal extension message.

what I did was add an entry int my menu.lst for my kernel. Set it up however you please.

Wow, that's great work! Are you, by chance, that guy who's moving towards streamlining cross-platform functionalities and to target granular platforms?

No, not yet at least. I'm surprised I even got this far. :D It looks like I CAN do Osdev and asm is the way to go. :D

Sorry to burst your bubble, but it doesn't work for me.

GRUB 0.96 gives "Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format".

At 395 bytes, it seems pretty small to be anything but a flat binary... Are you sure you compiled/linked this properly?

I think he was being sarcastic... (I may be wrong).
Because your OS sounds like it has nothing worthwhile to be tested yet (we really don't know what direction it'll take).

Thats why I said 0.000000000001, meaning nothing but crap done yet.
It is a flat binary written with Fasm.

I switched to C to increase portablility. :D

God, all yer switches... :lol: Did you manage your OS to boot properly by "switching" to C?

Any-who, good luck.

I didn't switch to C. I suck at C :oops:
