For exam, on Malta it can use a natural 0x80000000, one our customer put memory into 0x40000000 etc. Hmm... Any significant reduction below 2GB sounds like opening a can of worms with address space layout assumption in some application code. I guess they were desperately looking to increase kernel memory, highmem didn't fit the bill nor going 64 bit so this was the solution? Ralf
