Fix by rounding up the image source area to the nearest 4kB. (The temporary decompression area is already rounded up to the nearest 128kB, to facilitate sharing between multiple iPXE ROMs.) Reported-by: Itay Gazit Signed-off-by: Michael Brown --- diff --git a/src/arch/i386/prefix/romprefix.S b/src/arch/i386/prefix/romprefix.S index 2b4c20b8e..35d037eff 100644 --- a/src/arch/i386/prefix/romprefix.S +++ b/src/arch/i386/prefix/romprefix.S @@ -352,9 +352,13 @@ pmm_scan: call print_message /* We have PMM and so a 1kB stack: preserve whole registers */ pushal - /* Allocate image source PMM block */ + /* Allocate image source PMM block.
