AFAIK in FreeBSD it is known as pc98, se

Why the modaddr can not be accepted by multiboot specification ? By
default, grub loads the multiboot modules right after multiboot kernel.
Some microkernel want to keep the multiboot module images in memory, if
a driver crashed it can be reloaded from the image.
On x86 platform, this sche

I expect to mistake 'PC98' for the Microsoft PC98 specification.

I was thinking something along an array of memory descriptor structs,
listing -
- Base
- Length
- Type (Conventional memory, Kernel + Modules, GRUB structures like
the MBI
- Attributes (read protected, write protected, cacheability attributes)
The advantages over the old mmap_ entries being

Actually, even now a Multiboot kernel has to do way too much work in
terms of memory initialization. The real problem is that GRUB only
gives you the BIOS memory map and the lowmem/highmem, which means you
need to figure out an "in use" memory map for yourself, by seeing if
any kernel modu

Shen:
Specify loading address for each multiboot module is not a perfect idea.
Which will make kernel does more work on memory initiation. BTW kernel's
loading address can be specified by multiboot header.
After all, this is my feedback, just for your information. Enjoy
hacking :-)

Hi,
I will appreciate the comments from anybody on my ideas.
To Colyli:
You are right. Their "*modaddr* *value*" can do the same as my "*addr* = *
value*". The former told Grub to load all the rest modules starting from
address *value*; while the later only specifies the current module's loadi
