Thats why I assumed its OK to change that and clear memory from > _RAMBASE to TOPK and not from 0 to TOPK Dont' forget that the systems we boot also do things to memory that can correctly set the ECC tags. I would have to see the sizes etc. and I can't look right now. But don't forget that linux, as it allocates pages, zeros them. I don't know all the places that memory is initialized in the kernel at this point. but it could be we've been lucky. I don't know. Anyway, you need to make that code a little smarter and, on cold boot, zero the low memory too. ron -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
