An obvious question that no one has bothered to ask as yet: What is the problem you're trying to solve with this? Or, why do you want to know where the kernel loads, and what will you gain from it?
Too many times, users or other people (programmers, other sysadmins, ...) come to us with a solution in need of a piece or part, and we never hear the larger question or problem, to which there may be a much simpler answer. The query may be a simple one, the need may be educational. Or it may be a cog in a larger, complex solution to a problem that some, or many of us have already solved in some other way which does not involve walking through the kernel's memory. It's just a thought, but Mark -- What's your original problem or task? -- Robert P. Nix Mayo Foundation .~.
