following on my previous question, i'm following the tradition of a few authors and using "logical" kernel address to refer to any address in the kernel address space that maps to its physical address just based on a simple offset. that is, given the kernel address space in the range 3G-4G, a good chunk of the lower part of that range maps to physical addresses simply by subtracting the offset of 3G (0xC0000000). does this addressing hold for the *entire* NORMAL zone? that is, does all of ZONE_NORMAL (16M-896M) *always* consist *solely* of logical addresses, leaving only physical memory above 896M for dynamic addressing, regardless of much RAM is on the system? thanks. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
