I imagine that if you have, e.g., 768M of RAM, you would never use kernel virtual addresses greater than ... 0xc0000000 + (768 * 1024 * 1024) = 0xf0000000 Someone please correct me if I'm wrong! -- --Ed L Cashin | PGP public key: ecashin@uga.edu | http://noserose.net/e/pgp/ -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
