I've found the problem with big kernels. The problem is that the "PSE" code assumes that a kernel text+data+bss+symbols+misc data will always fit in one 4MB "super-page". This is obviously not always the case. To reproduce just compile a kernel with COPTFLAGS set to "-a -g" and you will see it (if your cpu supports PSE that is). Any chance you can fix this John ? -- Poul-Henning Kamp | phk@FreeBSD.ORG FreeBSD Core-team. http://www.freebsd.org/~phk | phk@login.dknet.dk Private mailbox. whois: [PHK] | phk@tfs.com TRW Financial Systems, Inc.
