MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7BIT Content-Disposition: inline Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Length: 884 Lines: 21 Hi, I'm working on port of linux 2.6.13. The target is a custom board based on a MIPS cpu. There are several RAMs on this board whose address are not contiguous and don't start to 0 . I currently succeed to make linux detect one of these RAM (the biggest one) but I'd like to make linux able to use the others...I'd like to use the other in a particular way: I would like to be able to allocate memory only on a single RAM when needed in kernel space, and in userspace I would be able to export a RAM disk that uses memory on a single RAM. Could someone tell me how to do that or give me some pointers ?
