In the powerpc64 file I only see something called "reserved-ranges" which may do what I want, however, that doesn't exist in the 32bit version. It appers the reserved-ranges is used by OPAL firmware , which I don't have. There doesn't appear to be anything generic in ppc64 to exclude device IO memory. Daniel
