There may be a justification for doing so, but there are some technical challenges with doing this, which could easily result in a BIOS that won't get to the C code. As a short term work around you can decrease the number of debugging messages compiled into linuxBIOS. ## At a maximum only compile in this level of debugging option MAXIMUM_CONSOLE_LOGLEVEL=8 What are you doing to LinuxBIOS that causes it to exceed 64k? Most canidates I can think of should be moved out into a bootloader. Eric
