In Windows himem.sys looks a mess, I have >>>no idea what it should look like but I guess it shouldn't be filled with >>>garbled random text.
actually himem.sys is an executable file and it should look like garbled text NEM> debian:~# Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address c3018000 current->tss.cr3 = 00101000, %cr3 = 00101000 NEM> *pde = 00000000 NEM> Oops: 0002 NEM> CPU: 0 NEM> EIP: 0010:[<c01128f0>] NEM> EFLAGS: 00010046 NEM> eax: c3018000 ebx: c2019f20 ecx: 00000246 edx: c3018000 NEM> esi: c0112928 edi: c02dbf40 ebp: c02dbf18 esp: c02dbf20 NEM> ds: 0018 es: 0018 ss: 0018 NEM> Process swapper (pid: 0, process nr: 0, stackpage=c02db000) NEM> Stack: c02dbf44 c01139a5 c3018000 00000001 c0322f34 00000000 00000001 00000000 NEM> 00000000 c02dvf5c c011a8a9 00000000 c02da000 00002916 c010b325 aaaaffe0 NEM> c010aff0 00000000 c02da000 00000000 c02da000 00002916 aaaaffe0 00000000 NEM> Call Trace: [<c01139a5>] [<c011a8a9>] [<c010b325>] [<c010aff8>] [<c010893d>] [<c0106008>] [<c0108960>] NEM> [<c010a1e0>] [<c0106000>] [<c010607b>] [<c0106000>] [<c0100175>] NEM> Code: c7 02 00 00 00 00 83 7a 3c 00 75 28 a1 3c a0 2d c0 c7 42 40 NEM> Aiee, killing interrupt handler NEM> Kernel panic: Attempted to kill the idle tast!
