Try to observe /dev/mem and /dev/kmem. Probably not something that you want, but via these device files you can see the whole memory contents and thus observe what's in there. Another way is using gdb + /proc/kcore + vmlinux (last one is needed as symbol file). regards, Mulyadi -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
