Recently, I have started to write code to set up the gdt for HardMetal, using jamesm's tutorials and Bran's I adapted the code to my kernel. I get a triple fault everytime I install the gdt. I have tried changing a bunch of things, looking at examples and I don't see the problem. I figure this is something that has to be looked at with someone else's mind. Here you go: the files are gdt.c gdt.h and startk.s

Well, at a first glance I don't see anything wrong, but you could chaqnge line 11 of gdt.c from:

Code: Select all

gp.limit = (sizeof(struct gdt_ent) * 5) - 1;

to:

Code: Select all

gp.limit = (sizeof(struct gdt_ent) * 3) - 1;

Still problems.

let's start with a bochs dump, ok?

As you know, I have trouble with my floppy. I get things like, inconsistent filesystem all the time. Bochs is also missing the Bios and I can't find a download for it anywhere.

I got it working after changing the code a bit.

@Combuster: I did get bochs working, I DID find the bios and but it where it belonged. I do not know, (though I wish I did) what caused the problem.

I get a triple fault now that I added code to set up a tss. The bochs dump looks like this

Which leads me to believe that I have a problem with my tss setup. Do I have to set the values in all of the members of the tss to their current values? Do they have to be set to a non-zero value when loaded? I will post my new code, I have added a new file tss.h which contains the structure for the tss.

HaHa, I forgot to increase the limit on my gdt to make room for my tss descriptor. I should put that in stupidest mistakes thread.
