Hi!
Since my last posting, I've learnt what EBDA stands for ...
Has anybody any idea on:
1- why the Extended BIOS Data Array size might have changed whilst doing the upgrade? 2- how can I changed it back to an acceptable (which one?) value?
My machine is a SONY Vaio PGC FX-505, dual boot with Windows XP Pro.
TIA

Hi!
When I tried to upgrade my laptop from 8.0 to 8.1, it took ages, sort of bocked - but lots of disk activity at around 82% after 6 hours ...!! I aborted the installation. There was a report of 600 modules in error. I then rebooted ... Lilo screen, launch Linux ... an EBDA error message appeared (EBDA too big or something like this). I knew I had very little space left on my hard disk. It could be the problem.
Anyway, I am now back to Win XP :-(( or MAc OS X on the desktop :-)
How can I recover my 8.0 system?
TIA
