My question is will RKS> these pages always be in memory ? If i understand you correctly, yes... Say kernel is 2 MB. Then it begins 0xC010_0000 and ends 0xC030_0000. It maps to physical 0x0010_0000 - 0x0030_0000 addr range. This pages always in mem, never swapped... -- Bora Sahin borasahin.port5.com -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
