Subject: [PATCH]: Correctly locate RSDP in EBDA
Date: Wed, 20 Jul 2005 17:42:07 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050720174207.3a5884fc@laptop.hypervisor.org> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1061 bytes --]
ACPI spec. states that the location of the RSDP structure is found by searching
* The first 1 KB of the Extended BIOS Data Area (EBDA).
* The BIOS read-only memory space between 0E0000h and 0FFFFFh
The EBDA scan looks wrong. The patch below against 2.6.12 should correct this.
-Udo.

Calculate correct EBDA address for ACPI RSDP scan. The word at BIOS Data Area
40:0E is the segment address of the EBDA.
