Message-ID: <C5wIEu.Bs@veda.is> Date: 22 Apr 93 20:04:05 GMT Organization: Veda Systems, Iceland Lines: 14 I'm having to remove more and more things from the kernel to get it to fit in 640k, so I installed Julian's bootblocks. What do I need to do to get the kernel to work at 0x00100000 ? I tried changing i386/i386/locore.s and the load address in the Makefile. The kernel crashes immediately after loading (both with and without the address change in locore.s), before even displaying the copyright. I do not have a standalone debugger that I can load before the kernel to see what is actually going on. I know people must be succeeding to load the kernel to run in extended memory, so how is it done? -- Adam D. (adam@veda.is)
