Hi,
I'm trying to understand how the code for moving the kernel from its preliminary position to address 0x100000 works. What I'm trying to do is to move my own kernel from address 0x90000 to 0x100000. I thought that if I will look at
setup.S and head.S I will understand how to implement it, but this didn't happen. I could not understand how Linux is implementing its kernel loading to address 0x100000. I was trying to understand
do_move function in setup.S but as far as I understand it transfers the code to a different place. Furthermore, in order to issue address 0x100000 I need to be in protected mode and then move the kernel (Isn't it?)
Can someone please inlight me about this? How and where does Linux implement kernel loading to 0x100000? How can I implement it?
Thanks,
