Try to limit the length of your lines, these long lines make it difficult to respond to the relevant bit... > Is "acc" short for access? Yes. > zero number in kernal unaligned acc or the 5407? I presume that my cpuinfo is > telling me that whatever causes these unaligned traps is something that the zero number in kernel unaligned acc means that the kernel code itself caused 0 unaligned accesses. The 5407 in user unaligned acc means that user code caused 5407 unaligned accesses since boot. These are from "normal" processes. Paul Slootman
