I'm trying to create a simple kernel using Ubuntu. In the terminal I typed

ld -Ttext 0x1000 -o kernel.bin loader.o main.o Video.o

But I got the following error message in return:

ld: i386 architecture of input file `loader.o' is incompatible with i386:x86-64 output
ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; defaulting to 0000000000001000
