I sleazed it out to keep things simple. I have int handler stuff from the X11 stuff that just does direct I/O. In the program I do an iopl(3) (you probably saw this) > Which is the way to be approached for accessing PCI registers > from intXX functions? I think we just stick with direct I/O, but in linuxbios we can always call linuxbios functions (see src/bios/bioscall.c for int1a support that has been tested and works). > Has anyone played with loading several elf payloads in a row? this begins to look perilously like an operating system ... several elf payloads in a row ... oh boy. It worries me. if we go down the path this far we ought to see about putting a really small OS in there. It's a shame linux no longer qualifies as a "really small" OS. ron
