Hi

I think you're setting the I/O port in autoexec.bat and that is 
screwing up your setup.

So, it's failing because the 0x80 bit is on [if I'm understanding 
it]. And the bit about "Just assume this has happened before the OS 
is starting" makes me thing that the initialization you're doing in 
autoexec.bat is causing this test to be true [error condition].

I think these two lines [above] are your problem. What if you boot 
into Linux without running any of this stuff?

Good Luck!
