I think you need to look at the change floren and I worked up, assuming I can get him to release it to you. Our change is a bit less complex and adds fewer lines of code. You've added an extra option to load a bios, and it will be somewhat limited as those ever-demanding users continue to demand more and more :-) What we did instead is let users specify the load address of the kernel, and the IP from which to start. So our command line ends up with --kernel being a seabios image, and using switches to set the load address at e0000 and the initial IP at ffff0. Of course, now that I know the memory is "reflected" to high memory too, the initial IP could just as easily be fffffff0. Anyway, John, can you give us a look at a patch please? ron -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
