Firmware Test Suite - os2gap test
This test checks to see if the OS/2 memory gap at 15MB..16MB is disabled. Most modern firmware has this disabled by default, but older systems that tried to be OS/2 compatible sometimes enabled this and this is incompatible with Linux.
Examples:
fwts os2gap -
..runs the test on your machine and dumps the output to stdout.
