Look at the scitech source code. There are a limited number of system BIOS calls that need to be implemented. It is a fairly small number. wakeup.S could supply implementations for these and patch them into the right interrupt vectors while the VBIOS is being run. There is no requirement that VBIOS run the actual system BIOS, it only has to think that it is running on the system BIOS. This is the same scheme used for running the ROMs in user space. -- Jon Smirl [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
