Hi,

kernel booting and stopped in edd.c:read_sector.

I add debug messages around the two inline assemblly sentence, recompile kernel,
now strange thing happend, the kernel booting directly, but the printf
messages can't be seen because it's too rapid.

can we use printk in boot code?

the change of edd.c:
