5 There is now (bug #416415). The issue is with reading EBDA area (not
6 with writing as I wrote previously). I think I didn't open the bug
7 previously because after looking at v86d sources, the issue seemed
8 harmless. I think that the issue manifests on some hardware
9 configurations as well, although the bug mentions only virtualized
10 environments. If anyone wants to explore further, the easiest way is
11 probably to try the second boot menu option (VESA) in Liberté Linux
12 2012.1 — the warning will be shown on the console after "Initializing
13 VESA framebuffer" notice, if at all.
