I have compiled my kernel using various address space for the DigiBoard ranging from 0xa0000 to 0xfc0000, but always get a "bios download failed" message on boot. The man page for dgb mentions that machines with more than 15 megs of ram should either disable the uppermost 1 megabyte (my BIOS does not support this) or reduce the amount of ram in the machine (also not a viable option from my standpoint). Has anyone else had this problem, and (more importantly) has anyone found a solution?
