[Barrelfish-users] Boot barrelfish on real hardware problem

[Manuel Stocker]

Hi,

You might be experiencing similar problems we had with commodity 
hardware: there are BIOSes around that present a weird memory map with 
inversions and overlapping regions. For our purposes, I modified the 
e280 handling code to "normalize" the memory map.

I attached a patch. Be aware that it is somewhat messy and experimental. 
I have sent the same patch to Andrew for review but haven't heard 
anything, so I don't know if the current Barrelfish tree already has 
parts of this integrated already.

Regards,
Manuel
