I am utterly lost in space right now. So I wrote the syscall structure and now realised that I don’t really have a robust way of getting files. I’m using a stub and some random fat32 embedded driver online, which is certainly no “operating system”-like way to load files. I started working on my disk abstraction.

So now, I’m horribly lost. Well first, I made a couple of changes, all of which broke something random. I disabled optimisation for debugging purposes, and that changed the location of the entrypoint for some reason. I changed the way the bootloader is loaded up, and that broke the main partition for some reason. Something or the other keeps breaking.

After adding the abstraction code, I cycle between 3 errors. Either the code pagefaults while registering device, the malloc runs out of memory, or (a more random one) the disk driver fails to run. i’m taking a break.
