I don't think it's possible to prevent the NMI from using the current stack when in 16bit mode. (There are no task gates or things like that for 16bit interrupts, so the return address is always put on the current stack.) We could switch onto a dedicated stack, but the current nmi handler doesn't really do anything so I think using the current stack is okay. (My analysis using scripts/checkstack.py indicates entry_02 would use 34 bytes of stack space.) -Kevin _______________________________________________ SeaBIOS mailing list SeaBIOS@seabios.org http://www.seabios.org/mailman/listinfo/seabios
