Subject: [PATCH] x86: fix usage of bios intcall()
Date: Wed, 1 Jul 2009 11:13:07 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090701021307.GA3127@localhost.localdomain> (raw)

Some intcall() misuses the input biosregs as output in
cf06de7b9cdd3efee7a59dced1977b3c21d43732

This fixes the problem vga=ask boot option doesn't show enough modes.
