Hello everyone, after over a month of work, I finally finished a new post for the Writing an OS in Rust blog: [**Async/Await**](https://os.phil-opp.com/async-await/). The post explores cooperative multitasking and the...

The [first edition](https://os.phil-opp.com/first-edition/) of the blog used GRUB as the bootloader. Compared to the `bootloader` crate, the GRUB bootloader is more rudimentary: It also loads the kernel from disk, but...

I'm not quite sure what you mean, so please let me know if this doesn't answer your question: The `bootloader` crate does the low-level kernel loading that GRUB does and...

The bootloader crate creates the page tables mappings specified in the ELF file, including the given virtual address range and the access permissions. It also sets up a guard page...
