Linux Boot Process

Posted 07-19-2010 at 05:21 AM by QueenZ

The beautiful thing about Linux is that you can actually get to know it. I’m writing my own Desktop Environment right now so it should be really great.

First your computer runs whatever it finds on ROM, usually it is your firmware (BIOS/EFI)
BIOS contains the Boot Sector Loader. What this does is it loads the first 512 byte sector (Master Boot Record at address 0000:7C00) into your RAM. It is a very small program that loads the rest of the boot loader. Since it’s small size,

Pretty nice, isn't it?
How did I do that?
I got a good karuma. haha.

By the way, I was watering the rose and sakura seeds while wondering why the sakura seeds don't begin to sprout.

Here's something for you guys:

Code:

#include <glib.h>
#include <glib/gtypes.h>
#include <gtk/gtk.h>

struct GtkPrism {
    guint32 Left;
    guint32 Top;
    guint32 Rear;

    guint32 Right;

It's not compatible with every model, but the older linksys wrt54g's (the blue and black one's with external antennas) work well for the most part from what I can tell.
