It's Kernel code!! Well, it is possible. It's even expected, since the kernel also lives in virtual (though non-pageable) memory. The kernel's memory might start at physical address 0, but it is mapped into the kernel's page tables from virtual address 0xc0000000. regards, Rik -- Bravely reimplemented by the knights who say "NIH". http://www.surriel.com/ http://guru.conectiva.com/ Current spamtrap: <a href=mailto:"october@surriel.com";>october@surriel.com</a> -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
