(I'll copy down the panic data later today) Copy down the panic data, but a change I made last week (??) may have fixed the bug. The fix is as fllows: revision 1.201 date: 1996/09/03 18:50:36; author: nate; state: Exp; lines: +48 -30 Cleaned up version of my 'extended BIOS' patch. This one is commented better and much simpler to understand, and works just as well (better) as a bonus. Submitted by: bde ---------------------------- revision 1.200 date: 1996/09/01 02:16:07; author: nate; state: Exp; lines: +33 -6 If the basemem value supplied by the bootblocks, differs from the value returned by the RTC, use the bootblock supplied value. Also, map the 'stolen by BIOS' memory in the same manner as the ISA-hole memory, since it is really an extenstion of the BIOS. This is necessary for 32-bit BIOS functions such as APM support on laptops, and the loss of memory for non-necessary functions seems to be at most 4k. I also changed apm.c to remove the 'hack' solution to this. Nate
