my guess is these 2 lines above. you probably don't want to move a value like
this :) actually why are you doing it like this? i think you can pass the
values directly into the inline without having to move them can't you?
ok i admit i don't know the letter to use tho ;)
but ds is 16bits wide and ebx eax are 32bit, so use movw %%bx,%ds instead
or try passing the values into the inline.
hope that's some use :)
