yes. I noticed the v1's asm implementation. But I take it with a grain of salt it was working because back in ~2002, as I was already hearing reports raminit.c was broken then -- whether or not that was v1 or v2, who knows.. still, my guess is, the code is there, probably just missing something with initializing something before doing something. Just a wild guess. I'll continue reading the specs tonight. -- Roger http://www.eskimo.com/~roger/index.html Key fingerprint = 8977 A252 2623 F567 70CD 1261 640F C963 1005 1D61 Sun May 13 21:17:39 PDT 2007 -- linuxbios mailing list linuxbios@linuxbios.org http://www.linuxbios.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
