And it was:
gdtaddr:
.word gdt_limit /* the table limit */
.long gdt /* we know the offset */
And gdt_limit got rid of the problem.
And it is all defined in:
arch/i386/lib/c_start.S
This is from my break up of linuxbios into two seperately compiled
pieces so I could use upx on the code that runs from ram.
There are some issues with all of the ports working if I merged it as
is so I was delaying merging that bit.
I believe if I make the compression optional I can get around
the worst of the kinks. The challenge is keeping the p4dc6 port
that uses cache as ram working.
