Well, all I did was to apply a one-line patch from Qing He to the bios ROM. I haven't even tried Vista myself :) Maybe Qing can comment? It does look like a real mode problem; I'll update the dump to show more information (e.g. the code at the point of failure). Do you get anything in dmesg when the problem occurs? -- error compiling committee.c: too many arguments to function ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
