Yes, it is. In addition to your comments, Tom, it's worth looking in the corresponding head.S, head_4xx.S or whatever files to see that the kernel is called much like a regular function with arguments in registers r3 upwards. You'll find most of what you want to know by going through from early_init onwards. Jon. -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
