:this looks like BIOS code to me. for some reason it is mapped at 0xc00eb000,
but %esi is (of course) 0xeb761. it is missing 0xc0000000 bytes :) maybe the
bios needs to be mapped into a lower memory area?

That is very odd. It is the BIOS area. When it makes a BIOS call the
BIOS is limited to VM86 mode so it doesn't see the full pc, just the
16 bit version (and it runs segment-relative of course).
But the elfags and segment registers are not indicating that it was
running in VM86 mode, so the kernel wasn't *trying* to run BIOS code
at that time.
The failure is somewhere else and it would probably take some sleuthing
on the kernel stack to find it.
