hi: I have built vmlinux at the top dir of kernel source ,then I use objdump to look into its section information.I find the statup_32 which is the start routine of kernel , locats at 0xc0100000. I know the 0x100000 is the defined address for locating protect-mode code .But which I can not understand is the 0xc prefix .where does it come from? thanks! _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
