Hi,
I was wondering as to where is the GDT initialized during the boot
sequence? I will need the filename and the name of the routine that
does this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Pritesh

Search for cpu_gdt_table (one is literal, the other is per_cpu). You
should be able to work it out from there.

I would have said search for /gdt/ in arch/i386/boot/setup.S .
Maybe both are helpful.
