No, it was using E801: BIOS-provided physical RAM map: BIOS-e801: 0000000000000000 - 000000000009f000 (usable) BIOS-e801: 0000000000100000 - 0000000010000000 (usable) The new kernel has the '1' in the top end of the second part being one place to the right: BIOS-provided physical RAM map: BIOS-e801: 0000000000000000 - 000000000009f000 (usable) BIOS-e801: 0000000000100000 - 0000000001000000 (usable) > I wonder if this has something to do with the changes made > to support ACPI 3.0 changes to E820? I suspect not, given it's not using E820. But could be wrong. ;-) > This would be easy to diagnose with DOS DEBUG with no himem.sys > loaded.
