Subject: [PATCH] Use correct x86 reboot vector
Date: Sat, 10 May 2003 04:56:34 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030510025634.GA31713@averell> (raw)
Extensive discussion by various experts on the discuss@x86-64.org
mailing list concluded that the correct vector to restart an 286+
CPU is f000:fff0, not ffff:0000. Both seem to work on current systems,
but the first is correct.
See the "DPMI on AMD64" and "Warm reboot for x86-64 linux" threads
on http://www.x86-64.org/mailing_lists/list?listname=discuss&listnum=0
for more details.
This patch fixes the 2.5.69 i386 reboot code to use this too.
