the mp table (_MP_) is also ok.
Now this is getting weird. All the data in all the tables looks fine, almost byte-for-byte the same (I'm still working out what's different). But Linux never finds this MP table when loaded from a gcc 3.2-compiled linuxbios. The same linux, booted with linuxbios compiled on gcc 2.96, finds the table no trouble.
Any hints anyone :-)
how many people are building linux with RH 8.0, and these gcc tools:
