Hi all, Can anybody please explain what the following piece of code does? http://lxr.linux.no/source/arch/i386/boot/compressed/head.S arch/i386/compressed/head.S (startup_32) --------------- 41 xorl %eax,%eax 42 1: incl %eax # check that A20 really IS enabled 43 movl %eax,0x000000 # loop forever if it isn't 44 cmpl %eax,0x100000 45 je 1b ------------- the value in eax is first made 0 and then incremented by 1. What will be the impact of line 43 and 44 in above lines of code? Thanks in advance. Amrut. -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
