Just to clarify (since nobody else did) it looks like you're trying to print eax from userspace and expecting that to contain a value put there by the kernel's system call handler. The correct approach here is to use strace to trace system calls used. Cheers, Jon. -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
