no. executed memtest86 from lilo -- not as payload.
as i sayed, the payload code is not executed / not reached.
linuxbios seems to stop in c_start.s and it never reaches
src/arch/i386/lib/hardwaremain.c (i think so, because there
are some printk's in harwaremain which i never see on the
serial console).

xip?
instead of copying to ram, execute the code directly from the rom?
