The man page for dgb mentions that if I have more than 8 megs of ram, I should either disable the uppermost megabyte (my BIOS does not support this option), or reduce the amount of ram in my system (also not a viable option to me). I have configured and recompiled my kernel several times trying various addresses I have used before with the digiboard, but to no avail; I always get a "bios download failed" message on boot. Has anyone else had this problem, and (more importantly) has anyone solved it?
