Description
I am working on a toy kernel which I test in VirtualBox. If that matters, I use GRUB to boot the kernel. To initiate a reboot, I cause a triple fault with the following code:
mov eax, 0 lidt [eax] int 1
When I run this code natively, the machine reboots, as intended. In Virtualbox, the VM crashes with a "Guru Meditation" error message.
