And as addition, I think it's worth to check /proc/cpuinfo too in "address sizes" field NB: I was thinking, if in x64, it is operating in full 32 bit mode (not hybrid one), it is supposed to yield 32 bit address too, right? -- regards, Mulyadi Santosa Freelance Linux trainer and consultant blog: the-hydra.blogspot.com training: mulyaditraining.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
