Not that I know anything much about the K8 GART, but I assume the aperture is an address range that the GART takes control of and dynamically aliases other RAM pages into? Is it necessary to burn 64MB of RAM (which is presumably inaccessible when the GART is turned on)? Will the BIOS not already have conveniently piointed the aperture into a RAM hole (e.g., just below 4GB)? -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel |
