This is really great! Did you had the chance to test your code on a new world mac? If not, I will do so. I see that you are claiming all memory available. This is really nice but we need to consider two things when doing this. 1) It all needs to be freed. Currently I did not free the claimed memory (shame on me). 2) The linux loader claims some memory and want it to be mapped on the address on which the kernel was linked. If all memory is claimed already this will not work. Do you have any ideas how this can be resolved? Thanks, Marco
