They are vaguely similar, but many details won't be the same. :) Why are you focusing on 2.2? ~Randy "Yan, Noah" wrote: > > It is a good stuff.

It is really a hard start for me when I dig into those OS code although I have a strong theoretic background in OS and computer architecture. I am now being blocking at the start_kernel and caliberate_delay function of Kernel 2.2.x.
