Highmem is on:

cat /boot/config-2.6.33.1  | grep -i highmem
# CONFIG_NOHIGHMEM is not set
# CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G is not set
CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G=y
CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y
# CONFIG_DEBUG_HIGHMEM is not set

menuentry 'Linux 2.6.33.1' --class ubuntu --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
       recordfail
       insmod ext2
       set root='(hd0,2)'
       search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 2875dab1-590c-4c56-a1a8-69ac3221e339
       linux   /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.33.1 root=UUID=2875dab1-590c-4c56-a1a8-69ac3221e339 ro   quiet splash
       initrd  /boot/initrd.img-2.6.33.1
}

I noticed that addresses in /proc/iomem are not contiguous as follow:


root@lpt:~# cat /proc/iomem
00000000-00001fff : System RAM
00002000-0000ffff : reserved

hole - how about address range from 000d0800 to 000dffff ??

Addreses marked by me as "hole",  I think, are reserved for usage for devices, but why aren't show in /proc/iomem  as region of "reserved" or something else (like BIOS region, or PCI bus?
