Almost. That's a reset (of the CPU) not a reboot. And it only needed to reset when going from 32-bit mode to 16-bit mode, but not the other way. But you are right about the essence. It *was* a kludge. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
