- Can you run memtest as a payload before proceeding with filo? http://www.memtest86.com/ or http://www.memtest.org/ (not sure which one of them supports LinuxBIOS)
Yes I can. Both serial and VGA output :)
I did not test with both memtest and filo as payload, only memtest. Do you know why I'm getting all those errors from memtest? Is that my problem?
Per
Are they all in the c0000 segment? If so, its not a problem, as thats the vga bios area which is not writable..
Otherwise, something is wrong.
