thanks for this, but i think i was able to configure the GRUB to load the simple kernel.

I've done this, but I'm getting the following error (also posted in a separate thread):

Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format

In the build file, I have the following line:

nasm -f elf64 -o start.o start.asm

Then, on the link.ld file,

OUTPUT_FORMAT("binary")

I'm getting no error when building. Is there any inconsistencies? Does it have to do with my laptop architecture (AMD Athlon-X2)?

Pls see attached files and any help pls? Thanks!


     

Download this set of kernels: http://www.osdever.net/downloads/kernels/osd.zip and look at the README file and at the Makefiles and you will see how to compile your kernel to an executable format.
