Subject: [PATCH] Fix eisa_mmap evaluation, add memory existence check
Date: Tue, 23 Oct 2007 21:06:16 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <471E4628.9030706@t-online.de> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 711 bytes --]
This patch fixes the broken evaluation of the E801 EISA memory map. The
shift was too much, the high word is already shifted :-) The bug was
hidden until the E820 memory map evaluation was broken due to the struct
packing issue fixed in my last patch.
The extra handling of "0x3C00" case is IMO not necessary. Regions are
merged a few lines later.
During testing, I added a primitive memory to detect such problems
early. It was difficult to find why grub crashes during module load.
