Hello from Gregg C Levine Steve, now I am completely confused. Can you elaborate on the term "gdt"? I am familiar with its use, on the PC, during the time period that covers the pre-Linux era. Namely working in assembler for the IBM-PC, itself, during the 1980s to the 1990s.
After that, I don't remember how it works. So, can you further elaborate? ------------------- Gregg C Levine hansolofalcon@worldnet.att.net ------------------------------------------------------------ "The Force will be with you...Always."

I don't believe you want to mix these two settings. ipl.S is real
mode
code. I would remove the biosbase setting altogether.
Further, some of the config you have is from the pcchips787. The pcchips787 config is for the sis630 section; the sis730 code is different and many of the option settings from the pcchips787 are
not
going to work well, unfortunately. I converted the real mode code
in
the 630 directory so it would work, I think the same thing might
have to
be done for the 730, but I am not sure.
