Then you should read the book "Understanding The Linux Kernel", and Intel's reference manuals which document these features. Also this is the book we read in Undergrad for x86 internals :) It was considered to be the bible for the topic (atleast at the time) http://www.amazon.com/Intel-Microprocessors-80186-80286-80386/dp/0132606704/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1310792692&sr=1-1 Regards, Joel _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
