Hi, I've found that the PowerBook 5xx would crash randomly in pmap functions. It seems as though PTEs were referenced beyond the end of ram. Unless there is a better way to handle this I'd like to commit the attached patch. I found the fix while limiting the available ram in the Booter. Making the ram smaller in the Booter the PowerBook never crashed. But to lose 1MB ram is wasteful so with the patch at least I only lose 48k. Thoughts? Best regards, Nat
