Dear friends,
I want to know the basics linux booting process. I googled for this
but i didn't find the detailed things anywhere. I want to know the
boot process including the hardware work flow. Can anyone give me the
detailed tutorial to learn about this.
First, when you power up the system the bios goes through a POST, which
is power-on self test. This just checks that hardware is working, etc.
Then it looks for a boot sektor, which must be 512 bytes long and end
with a magic number, and loads the kernel. From there, you can look at
the head.s assembly, and I think someone posted a tutorial here a while
back--maybe they'll post that again.
Thank you
