    Hello,

    I solve the last problem. The problem was because you use the malloc.h header file. This file is deprecated so I change the malloc.h file to use slab.h

    I compile new kernel with stpc framebuffer.

    Then I change the stpc loader (BIOS).

    The framebuffer didn't start.

    What do you advice me to do?

    Thanks in advance.

    Yahel;

    Can you give me some more details on what is not working?

    Do the OS hang? Is the just the framebuffer the is not starting (no picture on screen)?

    As you are using the loader, have you got any debugg message that appear on the serial port?

    Yahel,

    Did you test your new kernel with the General Software BIOS + LILO before to try with the loader?
