First I wanna say hi to you, I'm new here. I'm also new to DJGPP, but not to programming.

So, here's my problem:
I got KERNEL2.ZIP from the DJGPP-Server (I think, it's a long time ago). For
those who do not know: it's a os-source written in DJGPP. Not very much, just
a test.
I got the thing to compile after a few modifications (some warnings). When I
make a floppy, I can
boot from it, and the screen says "Hi there", but then my computer suddenly
reboots. The other computer I tested just hanged. What's the problem? IMHO it
could be because I fixed "copyboot.c", the program which copies the files to
the disk. There was a problem with a void pointer which was used for
arithmetical operations. But I don't know how to fix the thing to work.

thanks
andy
