For example, printing `"hello"` only renders `"hell"`. + +This happens only with this exact combination: + +real mode `int 0x10` teletype output + +message ends with `13, 10, 0` + +`QEMU` output cuts off the last character consistently + +All buffer and code logic has been verified to be correct. The same code, when run on Bochs or physical hardware, prints properly. +Steps to reproduce: +1.Assemble the following boot.asm: +```nasm +[org 0x7C00] +[BITS 16] + +_start: + cli + xor ax, ax + mov ds, ax + mov es, ax + mov ss, ax + mov sp, 0x7C00 + + mov si, msg + call print + + hlt + jmp $ + +print: + pusha +.loop: + lodsb + or al, al + jz .done + mov ah, 0x0E + int 0x10 + jmp .loop +.done: + popa + ret + +msg db 'hello', 13, 10, 0 +times 510 - ($ - $$) db 0 +dw 0xAA55 +``` + +2.
