Hello, Since Justus took a full time job, he had little time to pursue his work, and I stepped in to finish it. After a few months of occasional bug hunting, I finally got a working version that you can find in my darnassus repository [1], branch rbraun/vm_page. My approach was to redo the work with the least possible assumptions, something that is actually very hard to do as it took me a lot of time to identify even the slightest ones that turned out to be wrong. This work isn't finished, it's merely an incomplete development branch, but it's an important step towards managing more physical memory and very strongly reduce kernel memory exhaustion panics. -- Richard Braun [1] http://darnassus.sceen.net/gitweb/?p=rbraun/gnumach.git;a=summary
