I haven't been able to : establish whether this is a hardware or software problem. On many machines that I've seen, the BIOS does, indeed, live at 0xe0000. We don't have code to read the ROM mapping tables that PnP provides, so unless you've done a memory dump of the area, it is almost impossible to know for sure if it is in use or not (well, windows might be able to tell you). The new bus kludge code does clip start and end to 0xd0000, but you are right that is bogus. On most machines, this is the only space available. For cardbus bridges, we should really just pick a space outside of the ISA hole anyway.
