Not sure what is the case with the Linux kernel, but I know from past experience with other kernels that having misaligned code have consequences ranging from: * slower code (usually half of a quarter of the regular speed) * weird side effects like some read/write operations fail or fail partially * undetermined behaviour * no ill effects This heavily depends on the kernel and the hardware. - -- Regards, EddyP ============================================= "Imagination is more important than knowledge" A.Einstein -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFF3aeLY8Chqv3NRNoRAlb9AKCzOZyc3cMhbip5T32uwgeX65ekTwCcCNGF +ao5K7LS4zM1BT23NP2AkbE= =VQzj -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
