I trusted that the image was switched > but I'm not sure how I could verify. i wasn't assuming that the two setups were identical. let me know if that's a bad assumption. if 9atom fails during the realmode call to e820 in the kernel, that would mean that there is no e820 map available at all. i would think that means that the vm is assuming that we know all the acpi tricks, and i'd find that very odd since afaik, linux uses e820, even when acpi is available. probablly because acpi is too complicated to run before you know if you've got more than ~480k to touch. 9atom's 9load prints "%d e820 entries" on boot. is that number 0? - erik
