Hi Thanks for your quick answer.

Junk it is. > So it looks to be a miscalculation of machdep->kvbase. I added a line that prints the kvbase: printf("** kvbase: %x (%x)\n", machdep->kvbase, symbol_value("_stext")); It produced a value, that to me seems to be correct: ** kvbase: 80000000 (80201000) My kernel configuration says: # zcat /proc/config.gz |grep PAGE_OFFSET CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET=0x80000000 Also the UP kernel with 2G split (which works) have these same values. > If you take the same dumpfile above, but use -d8 instead of -d7, you'll > also see the translated physical address after each "readmem" line > above. Couple of first symbols: <readmem: 8053f700, KVADDR, "kernel_config_data", 32768, (ROE), 97ab7f8> addr: 8053f700 paddr: 53f700 cnt: 2304 addr: 80540000 paddr: 540000 cnt: 4096 addr: 80541000 paddr: 541000 cnt: 4096 addr: 80542000 paddr: 542000 cnt: 4096 addr: 80543000 paddr: 543000 cnt: 4096 addr: 80544000 paddr: 544000 cnt: 4096 addr: 80545000 paddr: 545000 cnt: 4096 addr: 80546000 paddr: 546000 cnt: 4096 addr: 80547000 paddr: 547000 cnt: 1792 WARNING: could not find MAGIC_START!

When I compare the address to addresses from running system, at least the addresses from symbol table seems to be right. I have compiled the kallsyms in: # cat /proc/kallsyms |grep kernel_config_data 8053e700 r kernel_config_data # cat /proc/kallsyms |grep cpu_possible_map 8065f4a4 r __ksymtab_cpu_possible_map 80666d26 r __kstrtab_cpu_possible_map 807328c0 B cpu_possible_map ... Also the symbol from the vmlinux image containing debugging symbols is correct: # objdump -t s3/boot/vmlinux-2.6.27.21+smp-syms |grep kernel_config_data 8053f700 l O .rodata 00002b3a kernel_config_data Any suggestion how to continue would be appreciated...
