Possibly the partition/filesystem code since both removing the HDD and not entering the boot menu improves things? After the early VM setup all memory allocated by the boot loader that has not be claimed explicitly is freed. So even if the boot loader did leak memory, that wouldn't matter. > Alt+SysRq+d at the blue desktop screen results in: > {{{ > Page fault in double fault debugger without fault handler!

You could check what function 0x800dacb7 translates to (objdump). -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/5822#comment:8> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
