Yes, that should be the point. x86/realmode.c is always running in emulation mode. I added the testing here there but no error occurred. I cannot find the reason. The code is as follows added to x86/realmode.c static void test_nopl(void) { MK_INSN(nopl, ".byte 0x0f, 0x1f, 0x00\n\r"); exec_in_big_real_mode(&insn_nopl); report("nopl", 0, 1); } and I objdump from realmode.flat is as follows: 00006458 <insn_code_nopl>: 6458: 0f 1f 00 nopl (%eax) But there cause no error when executing this insn. Why?
