hi sorry this is slightly off topic but i need some asm code to clear the screen in the linux kernel -- just after it says uncompressing linux. how would i implement this in assembler, that would compile under gas. thanks edwin
By the time it says "uncompressing linux" it is already in 32 bit mode C code (inflate.c). It is writing to the screen directly at memory address 0b8000. To clear the screen, just zero 0b8000 - 0bfff0.
ps. will you eventually implement all the standard bios calls so that other os's such as dos etc will run under open bios? or will it be just a bios for linux? thanks and good luck.
I believe the goal is to get support for the 32 bit OSs that don't use the BIOS, like WinNT, BeOS, Linux, BSD, and others (at least I think that is the goal and I think those OSs don't use the BIOS).
