Boaz, Are you telling me that vendors are shipping parts that present themselves as E820_RAM, and that you have to manually block off the addresses from the kernel using the kernel command line? If that is true, then that is just insane and unsupportable. All the hardware I have access to: 1) does not present itself as normal memory and 2) provides some means for discovering its address and size Cheers, Jeff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
