Eric,
Why we use two differenct segment lay out for pre-C and C part ?
For the code that runs from ram and the code that runs directly from the rom chip.
In entry32.inc it is 0x08 for code and 0x10 for data but in c_start we use 0x10 for code and 0x18 for data.
Good question but it is probably a decent thing that will keep up from making too many assumptions that they have the same gdt.
I don't believe this is something that has changed recently.
