Thanks.  From a diff of the two logs:

     4: 000000003ffe0000 - 0000000040000000 = 2 RESERVED
     5: 00000000feffc000 - 00000000ff000000 = 2 RESERVED
     6: 00000000fffc0000 - 0000000100000000 = 2 RESERVED
  -enter handle_19:
  -  NULL
  -Booting from Hard Disk...
  -Booting from 0000:7c00

So, it got most of the way through the reboot - there's only a few
function calls between the e820 map being dumped and the handle_19
call.  The fault also seems to show it stopped in the BIOS in 16bit
mode:

> CS =f000 000f0000 0000ffff 00009b00

Can you add the patch below, force the fault, and forward the log.

Also, if you recreate the failure can you take the EIP from the fault
(eg, d331) and search for the corresponding function in the output of:
  objdump -m i386 -M i8086 -M suffix -ldr out/rom16.o | less
(That is, search for "d331:".)  If that's too much of a pain, just
send me a direct email with the seabios out/rom16.o file and the new
EIP of the fault.  (I need the out/rom16.o that was used to build the
version of SeaBIOS that faulted.)
