Wow. Long time since I blogged.Well AWOS has been moving right along. Right now I'm working on tidying up the hard disk driver, and making it print something a tad more decipherable than "hd: detected WD on ide0:0, 0x55 0xAA". I'm also trying to dig up that ATA spec I downloaded. For some reason T13 deleted it from their Web site.In other news, the parallel port driver is not working. I've

Well it appears I had a big ol' bug in my paging code, making it crash. I fixed it on all but one of my computers. The eMachines T1220 I have still page faults when the kernel attempts to access 0x07800000, one of the last blocks of memory on that computer. I have no clue why.But now I have a new problem. Right before my IDE init function (KsHardDisk) returns, it free()s the memory it needed.

As of last night, AWOS is now officially live on Google Code's SVN repository. That's right, we're finally open-source! (see it at http://awos.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/)I had a terrible time last night as my OS was triple faulting. (Harkens back to days of yore trying to get into PMode.) Found out that my fault handler was reading CR1, and that's a reserved register. Yay! No more triple

I decided earlier today that my OS will be open source, under an Apache 1-like license. This was a big step for me; I wasn't sure if I wanted to be closed or open. I figured that open source: makes people happy; allows other people to find (and even possibly fix) bugs; and makes it more open for other people to join me in this project. Right now I'm working on my hard disk driver. It
