Thanks Alan. 2.5.47-ac5 works fine for my PC-9800 box
with additional patch. I put additional patch next URL.
http://downloads.sourceforge.jp/linux98/1561/linux98-2.5.47-ac5.patch.tar.bz2

But I met some not PC-9800 specific problems.
- Doesn't boot when compile for i386 or i486.
- Oops when remove a Card from CardBus socket.

Regards,
Osamu

Thanks - I'm trying to fold bits in one at a time and to avoid lots of messy ifdefs. BTW - have you tested the APM change as it seems to have more pushes than pops for the stack ?

Also for the 386/486 crash was that with our without FPU and software FPU emulation ?

I assumed that the PC-9800 must be using an iret instead of ret to get back from the APM BIOS. This is, of course, broken ...
