Hello,

1) I think, there is a difference in vtop when PAE is not configured and is configured (kernel 2.6.11)

Any reason ?

I use a very simple program

#include <stdio.h>

#include <stdlib.h>

int var12=12;

main()

{

printf("@var12 : %p\n", &var12);

pause();

}

***************PAE not configured**************

[root@fedora4 ~]# ./essai &

[1] 3196

[root@fedora4 ~]# @var12 : 0x80495a8

[root@fedora4 ~]# crash -s

crash> set 3196

[…]

crash> vtop 0x80495a8

VIRTUAL PHYSICAL

80495a8 1e28c5a8

PAGE DIRECTORY: dda2f000

PGD: dda2f080 => 1f0a7067

PMD: dda2f080 => 1f0a7067

PTE: 1f0a7124 => 1e28c067

PAGE: 1e28c000 <----------------------------

[...]

PAGE is the physical address of the page

***************PAE configured ******************

[root@fedora4 ~]# ./essai &

[root@fedora4 ~]# @var12 : 0x80495a8

[root@fedora4 ~]# crash -s

PAGE is really the physical adress of var12

2) Also an option should be nice in rd to see hexadecimal without the ascii part

With PAE on, if i want du see the 4 references in the PGD, i am not really interested

in the ascii part ?
