OK, with Your patch it used the old 16-Bit memory detection:
-schnipp---
Old 16-bit EXT_MEM_K parameter shows more memory than new 32-bit
memory detection code. Please report this to lma@varesearch.com.
Reverting to old 16-bit memory parameter.
BIOS query detected 1024KB RAM. Report errors to lma@varesearch.com
Total RAM size was detected using BIOS function int 15h, ax=e801h.
-schnapp---
With the old detection routine it found:
Memory: 63380k/65536k available (600k kernel code, 384k reserved, 1172k
data)
Ralf Brown's Interrupt List states, that this routine (0xe801) is
supposed to work with newer BIOS, namely AMI Bios.
Just to make sure, I've got an Award BIOS 4.51PG dated late last year...
