On this machine the mptable "floating" structure is at 0xf9fc0. It points to the rest of the table which is in the 0x3f7f0000 area. Note, that this is on a Coreboot+SeaBIOS machine - so we can change the bios. However, the mptable spec does allow for part of the table to be high memory. -Kevin -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
