Hi , Nice to know that you have worked out to understand the boot process better . I would appreciate if you could share with everybody what you did exactly , the code you used and finally what all you understood . This would be of great help to the newbies out here on the list .

I have started printing a simple "Hello World" at boot time (I am using bochs for tests) and then I continued adding more and more things. I almost understand how it works. Now I want to start using a bootloader like lilo to create my boot image, a simple main c file that print "hello world" using either direct access to video ram or int 0x10. Does someone of you know the step necessary to do that? Thanks in advance for any suggestion. Bye -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
