RE: [Linux-ia64] Problem with elilo 3.3a

Looks like it might be a problem in EFI.  I traced through BS->GetMemMap()
and the corruption in the returned memory map are left over data in fields
that are not being filled in by the function call.

Ah, that's how I thought it worked.  I misunderstood your previous
mail (on re-reading it, it's clear though... ;-).

Thanks,
