Right, it doesn't seem like we will get a serial post output in c_start.S without a lot of work. But it is nice to have it everywhere else. I thought a STAGE2 define in intel.h and c_start.S would help document the fact that stage2 was "different" and be a minimal change. I suppose we should also keep in mind that the post macro is only two lines of code... -Steve _______________________________________________ Linuxbios mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.clustermatic.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
