I'm just assuming it isn't a device driver. Sonja (the original poster) just mentioned 'a kernel module'. It might be worth asking what exactly this module does and why it would need to be implemented as a kernel module if it needs so much memory. If it's a device driver, what is it driving? The only hardware that springs to mind which might need large amounts of memory is a camera driver or some high-speed sampling device. _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
