See the memmap option in kernel-parameters.txt in the kernel > Documentation directory OK, great. One thing I don't see in that page is how to get size and address values from memtest86 output. Must they be obtained with some special memtest86 parameter, or recalculated from some other data? Also, is it possible to pass that option multiple times: memmap=size1$address1, memmap=size2$address2 Thanks, Marco -- The best way to make everybody love Free Standards and Free Software: http://digifreedom.net/node/73
