Actually it does since it's only 114f000-7a000000. I guess the biosmem heap was only meant for biosmem_bootalloc allocations. More precisely though, adding debugging to vm_page_load: vm_page_load 10000-1000000 10000-1000000 vm_page_load 1000000-7a000000 114f000-79c41000 vm_page_load 7a000000-7ffe0000 7a000000-7ffe0000 I.e. it properly skips the kernel (1000000-114f000), but nothing else. What is supposed to exclude everything else? (modules, VGA BIOS, etc.) Samuel
