Hai Tor, The %edi was entirely correct. What we did: 1. added a pushed/poppped %edi on get_diskinfo in bios.S. Result: drive was no longer destroyed 2. replaced the bios. The bios was 1.00.03.CL0. We downloaded the latest bios from Intel which was 1.00.06.CL0. Result: problem also disappeared. Thanks everyone who took part in this discussion for their comments. I think we can close this case. Groetjes, Berend.
