Yes, it means that we won't get the status and error messages from 
query_edd.  In fact, we changed the ordering specifically for this reason.

The VESA code and EDD code both use the boot code heap.  One could guess 
that the problem is data left on the heap by the EDD code causing a 
failure when combined with a bad BIOS.

Does this patch work for you?
