Hi, I have a question about the how entry and exit from kernel is handled. I am working on powerpc and using netbsd 1.4.I ported the pmap module from netbsd 1.6 to netbsd 1.4 but having some problems with the switching of the segments registers. On entry to the kernel, when should we change segment registers? I guess that if the msr[PR] is 1, we should not restore the kernel segment registers, but I am confused a bit. Thanks, --pramod __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Search - Faster. Easier. Bingo http://search.yahoo.com
