Christoph,

I was using the above information to parse all the available markers ina kernel, but I believe I've found a way where I don't need the marker.hheader, so I'm OK with your NACK.

Out of curiosity, what is the kernel infrastructure you believe I shouldbe using to get a list of all available markers in a kernel? Note thatI also have a requirement to get a list of all available markers in akernel that isn't the currently running one.
