Re: Booting PilOS

Alex, PilOS is complete so far What could PilOS be used for? Does it have any way of communicating with the outside world? (http://lwip.wikia.com/wiki/Porting_For_Bare_Metal) Any thoughts re: IOT: eg:

Re: Booting PilOS

Hi Alex, I think i got some leads why some of us got stuck with Checking long mode What i noticed is the that if i insert some message printing on most parts of the code between Loading PilOS and Checking long mode, i will arrive on the real error which is ERROR: CPU has no local APIC. I check
