ipl.S is way to early. The descriptor table in start32.inc is the primary canidate. But actually switching descriptor tables and having the whole thing being a loadable ELF image is probably better. But those details are something we can worry about when someone has working code. My hunch is the problem goes deeper than just calling a 16bit entry point but we will see. Eric
