Hi all,
Following code comes from arch/i386/boot/setup.S (memory detection):
387 movb $0x88, %ah 388 int $0x15 389 movw %ax, (2)
Why memory address 2 is used? Where else in the kernel is it used? We are in real mode, so (2) should be the same as %ds:(2), or not?
Sorry that I'm bugging the mailing list with that question but I didn't found the answer anywhere. So a web page, a book or something else would be also nice as an answer.
Regards,
Andy
