So the interrupt vector table created by linux is other, that access the hardware of the another way so (using for this others functions/drivers) ? I'm a student that loves architeture of computer, assembly... , and I'm studing this topics at my univesity now - I would like to do a lot of programs to test and 'feel' the hardware and the intel processor (I did this some time ago, but in DOS), but using linux ... There is some way to do this ? Like manipulate control registers, bios interrupts, and so on ? I had read "Linux Device Drivers", and some another stuff, but I would like to know more about, but in the raw mode - assembly, and if possible, in "binary" mode (100101) or using hexa characteres - I got this in DOS sometime ago (okay, I'm not crazy, just wanting feel what is really going happen). Any knowlegde, docs, references about would be very appreciated. Thanks a lot Rodrigo F.
