Dear friends,<br>
<br>
I want to know the basics linux booting process. I googled for
this but i didn't find the detailed things anywhere. I want to
know the boot process including the hardware work flow. Can anyone
give me the detailed tutorial to learn about this.<br>

First, when you power up the system the bios goes through a POST,
which is power-on self test. This just checks that hardware is
working, etc. Then it looks for a boot sektor, which must be 512
bytes long and end with a magic number, and loads the kernel. From
there, you can look at the head.s assembly, and I think someone
posted a tutorial here a while back--maybe they'll post that again.<br>
