Hello, This is kernel development so not all the code you write is going to work on every piece of hardware, thats why modern operating systems have thousands of different drivers. To maximize your potential of running the kernel on a real computer I suggest picking up an older machine from early 2000s one that still uses the ATA drives and one that does not have UEFI firmware. Also ensure your kernel is written to the primary hard drive.

In the part two course which im currently developing we extend PeachOS to work with UEFI and more modern hardware, I'm doing the best I can to make PeachOS compatabile with newer machines, so stay tuned to the newsletters for more information on that when its released in about 6-10 months

Kind regards,
Daniel
