(I thought UEFI already used some sort of virtual memory, so I never even thought to mention this... Oh well.) Though if that's the case, then I'm wondering why it would be affected by the read size? Shouldn't it have crashed either as soon as the high address was used, or never at all? (I really don't know much about memory at this level. Sorry.) > Care to test?
