Hi All, My board is having 8MB of memory of which 2 MB is for the BIOS. I am loading Linux at 2 MB but at initialisation time I give all 8MB for Linux. Linux marks the 1st 2MB as non-usable and makes use of the rest of the 6MB. I have a requirement to access the 1st 2MB directly from the user space. Can anyone give me ideas as to how to do this? Is /dev/kmem a possible candidate? I am not sure how kmem behaves for BIOS memory. Thanks in advance Raghav -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
