One caveat I discovered, I could never get Linux to boot with a gdt located higher than 1M. So even if you put a linux compatible gdt high, it has to be moved to ram < 1M or linux hangs on boot. Never figured out why (true for 2.4 anyway).
we're not seeing this. We have GDTs in very high memory and it all works. Interesting.
Could this cause the hang with ADLO/rombios when booting grub on K8? Grub seems to hang right when it switches to pmode the first time.
