Hi,
This implies a miscompile somewhere, *or* that your bios stomps on
registers that gcc expect preserved, and adding printf's disturbs the
register allocation sufficiently.
I think maybe it's caused by gcc optimize, so I add volatile to
read_sector inline assemblly, then kernel can boot successfully.
please check this patch :
