My pending patch corrects this, but I didn't know it was an issue. page 0 is getting crowded then. page 0 is used in vm86 for IDT and stack. It may be time to make a map. I did a map long ago, but changing circumstances have rendered it obsolete. ron -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
