With latest rust nightly the issue is seen.

Can you post the Cargo.toml file you are using?

[saivishwak]

[package]
name = "rob_os"
version = "0.1.0"
edition = "2021"

[dependencies]
bootloader = "0.10.13"

[package.metadata.bootimage]
build-command = ["build"]

[bjorn3]

If you are following https://os.phil-opp.com you will have to use bootloader version 0.9, not 0.10.

Oh Okay, Thanks a lot. Was getting a linker error in 0.9.8 in latest nightly so switched to 0.10.13.

See #271 for details on that linker error. It's a regression in Rust and should be resolved in a few days.
