Module boot 

Boot subsystem

Regroups all code involved in the early kernel startup:

• assembly stubs (16-bit => 64-bit transition)
• bootloader handoff structures (KernelArgs)
• Boot-protocol entry point
• Device Tree (FDT) parsing
• Block device abstraction
• FAT32 module loader
• early serial logger
• kernel panic handler
• simple TOML parser for kernel configuration

Modules

assembly

block_device

Block device abstraction Block device abstraction for boot partition access.

config

Centralized kernel.toml configuration application Kernel boot configuration application.

dtb_boot

Boot-protocol entry point (DTB/PVH) Boot protocol entry point.

entry

KernelArgs structures shared between bootloader and kernel

fat32_loader

FAT32 module loader FAT32 module loader for reading userspace ELFs from boot partition.

fdt

Device Tree (FDT) parsing Device Tree (FDT) parsing for the custom boot protocol.

limine_shim

Boot-module lookup used by shell commands. With U-Boot the Limine backend is gone; modules load from the FAT32 boot partition (Phase 4), so these are empty stubs until that lands.

logger

Early serial logger (used throughout the kernel lifetime)

modules

Physical boot-module validation and initfs address conversion. Pure conversion of physical boot modules into initfs registration arguments.

panic

Kernel panic handler

symbols

Kernel symbol table for panic backtrace resolution Kernel symbol table for panic backtrace resolution.

toml

Simple TOML parser for kernel boot configuration Minimal TOML subset parser for kernel boot configuration.

virtio_blk

VirtIO block device driver VirtIO block device driver for boot partition access.
