My knowledge of Assembly is zero, so I am unsure of which code enables the registers. When I commented out the call to _real_call in arch/i386/firmware/pcbios/pcbios.S the pc reboot at the point it used to freeze. I had done a cvs update earlier and did not have time to check whether the pc would reboot without commenting out the _real_call call.
