hi....
I am learning a lot from these tutorials....thanks..
In os dev series tutorial-4 (bootloader2) in the last code given (boot1.asm)
there should be

Code: Select all

int 0x12

not

Code: Select all

int 0x16

if i am not wrong .....

[Andyhhp]

No

In that case, int 0x12 is correct. Its a one off bios function for getting the details of low memory.

For the other memory retreival fucntions, int 0x15 is used.

[EDIT]

O wait I see what you mean.

Yes - the code should use int 0x12 not int 0x16. Int 0x16 is for keyboard interration through the BIOS

Hey......
I am saying int 12 is correct. It is int 16 that got printed there
(in the very last big program). it is a typo error .i just thought to bring it to ur notice in upgradation

Hello,

Yes that is an error, sorry about that

In revision 2 I may just remove those parts from the chapter completely sense they are unrelated to what the chapter discusses.
