Hello All, I am following a tutorial from the following link, but I am stuck at the bottom of the page. http://www.osdever.net/bkerndev/Docs/printing.htm "Copy your 'kernel.bin' to your GRUB floppy disk, and if all went well, you should now have a kernel that prints 'Hello World!' on a black screen in white text!" I am completely a newbie on this area, and have no idea how to configure GRUB to load the kernel. I've been googling the web, but most of them suggest for the creation of a boot floppy disk with GRUB. I don't have that drive on my laptop. I am using Ubuntu Linux installed on a VMware 6.5.1. My laptop is Compaq Presario AMD Athlon-X2. # uname -a Linux pc-vm3 2.6.27-9-generic #1 SMP Thu Nov 20 22:15:32 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux Could i run this as a simple a.out? I am getting the following error: # chmod +x kernel.bin # ./kernel.bin bash: ./kernel.bin: cannot execute binary file Is there any wrong in the code? See attached zip file.
