I think the page size hardly matters, since nothing does paging. What matters is the 64K limit of 16-bit segments. I found it very clever that current code puts everything below 64K and sets zero to all 16-bit segment registers. It simplfies the code a lot. It's also worth mentioning that the current code works only if the "trampoline" code is also located below 64K. On my build it is ok, but nothing forces or checks it. -- Takeshi _______________________________________________ Linuxbios mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.clustermatic.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
