[Wang, Qingpei]

Hi, 
    Today I tried to install a pure new windows xp which seabios in
dbm690t it 
Hand off as show figure. I also put my dmes.txt here and e820 map also
data.txt from acpidump. It all works fine with linux. As my dbm690t has
1G Ram, so I Take (1024-128)*1024*1024-64)1024. 
By the way, is there anybody who know how to use acpiexec? I can not use
it smoothly.

it means put table on last 64kb on adderess 512MB-64MB. The -64MB is
there 
because of integrated framebuffer. If you are not using it, you can put
it 
anywhere in the memory >>1MB

Does linux still work with all that changes?
