 Since we followed his tutorial for lessons 18-22 (interrupts through malloc), we'll
 need to make sure we fix any of the issues before moving on.
 
+1. Wrong CFLAGS
+---------------
+
+We add  `-ffreestanding` when compiling `.o` files, which includes `kernel_entry.o` and thus
+`kernel.bin` and `os-image.bin`.
+
+Before, we disabled libgcc (not libc) through the use of `-nostdlib` and we didn't re-enable
+it for linking. Since this is tricky, we'll delete `-nostdlib`
+
+
+2. Not setting a stack
+----------------------
+
+
+
+3. kernel.c `main()` function
+-----------------------------
+
+Modify `kernel/kernel.c` and change `main()` to `kernel_main()` since gcc recognizes "main" as 
+a special keyword and we don't want to mess with that.
+
+Change `boot/kernel_entry.asm` to point to the new name accordingly.
+
+To fix the `i386-elf-ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; defaulting to 0000000000001000`
+warning message, add a `global _start;` and define the `_start:` label in `boot/kernel_entry.asm`.
+
+4. Reinvented datatypes
+-----------------------
+<stddef.h> to provide size\_t
+
+
+
+5. Missing functions
+--------------------
+
+6. Interrupt handlers
+---------------------
+- also cli, sti in interrupt handlers
+
+
+7. Structs and attributes
+-------------------------
+
+8. Improperly aligned `kmalloc`
+-------------------------------
+
