hi ive just setup a google code website and uploaded the 1st version of my new kernel.
could anyone test it for me?
it runs in qemu and i have included a script to run it.
ive been getting two faults.
1. a random keyboard interupt, which i think i have fixed now
2. a random general protection fault.
dunno why thats happening, it can run for ages or for 2 seconds before it happens.
the link should be set as my webpage on this site.
thanks

Hi!
Yellow Task 1, Task 2 and hello messages?
It works on a Dell Latitude laptop (tested for 30 min) and works on virtualbox (a few minutes) although it seems to hang for a half second every now and then (lock contention?).
Also, Task 2 seems to take more CPU time than Task 1.
There is no response to keypresses
Hope to see developments in digitrix

cheeers for the test
yeah im busy fixing vm86 at the min and my vfs b4 i setup a proper user interface.
i have one for debugging but i havent posted that cos its f*** s*** really
nearly done with vm86 anyway but having a bit of trouble with the yield function.
hence why things seem to stop and lag or take more time than they should.
after yield once the process is rescheduled is it supposed to return to the point after the yeild??
thats kinda the problem, although it does get rescheduled before hand.
anyway
hhhmmmmmm is all i gotta say about that
just gotta work out a few vnode problems with my new vfs, i think i might just use the old one now
but it relys on handles instead which is quite annoying at times.
also i ment to say but forgot.
i couldnt get my old window code off the old hard drive, for some reason it donsnt want to work on my new pc
might just be broken.
once i get my kernel sorted out im going to post all my new code then.
